Tuesdays we think of Dave the most, that's when he'd roll up in our driveway around 10 a.m., a smile on his face, golf clubs and shoes loaded in the back and energy bars for two stuffed in his shirt pocket.
As we adjust our Tuesday routine, we're grateful for the passage that he chose for his Memorial.
"You can shed tears that he is gone,
or you can smile because he has lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that he'll come back,
or you can open your eyes and see all he's left.
Your heart can be empty because you can't see him,
or you can be full of the love you shared.You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,
or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember him only that he is gone,
or you can cherish his memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind,
be empty and turn your back.
Or you can do what he'd want:
Smile, open your eyes, love and go on."
