This might seem a bit sappy, but the Dr. Seuss saying reminded me of this poem I included in my mom's eulogy in 2009. It has been attributed to David Harkins, and was used by the Queen of England for her mother's funeral in 2002:

[B]You can shed tears because he is gone[/B]

[B]Or you can smile because he has lived[/B]

[B]You can close your eyes and pray he’ll come back[/B]

[B]Or you can open your eyes and see all he left behind[/B]

[B]Your heart can be empty because you can’t see him[/B]

[B]Or it can be full of the love you shared[/B]

[B]You can turn your back on tomorrow and live only for yesterday[/B]

[B]Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.[/B]

[B]You can grieve and remember only that he is gone[/B]

[B]Or you can cherish his memory and let it live on.[/B]

[B]You can cry and close your mind[/B]

[B]Be empty and go back[/B]

[B]Or you can do what he’d want:[/B]

[B]Smile, wipe away the tears, love, and go on.[/B]
