Thomas W. Emery

In loving memory of my beloved father, Thomas W. Emery, who passed away 2 years ago today, September 11, 2010

I can shed tears that you are gone, or I can smile because you lived.

I can close my eyes and pray that you will come back, or I can open my eyes and see all that you have left me.

My heart could be empty because I can’t see you, or I can be full of love that you shared.

I can turn my back on tomorrow and live yesterday, or I can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.

I can remember you and only you that you are gone or I can cherish your memory and let it live on.

I can cry and close my mind, be empty and turn my back,

Or I can do what you would want; smile, open my eyes, love and go on with you always in my heart.
