remember to smile often

Today was a tough day.  We went to a funeral for a 24 yo that left this world way too soon.  There were a lot of tears and even some laughter.  This kid was well loved.  There were hundreds of people at his funeral. There were probably close to 50 people that had to stand.  They did a slideshow for him and you could see how much he was loved and how much he loved life. He had a smile that was infectious.  My heart breaks for his family.  No parent should ever have to bury their child.  

An important lesson was learned today.  Tomorrow is not a guarantee.  The kid's Mom said something that will forever stay with me.  She talked about how people need to be kinder to people in general.  Her son was the type that would help out anyone.  Would smile and talk to anyone.  More people should be like that.
