&quot;I finally understood what true love meant...love meant that you care for another person&#039;s happiness more than your own, no matter how painful the choices you face might be.&quot; <br /> -Nicholas Sparks

Smile, a photo
is what's only left to hold
When death draws the line.

After my Great Uncle died of MSA, a rare and fatal disease; I saw pictures of him everywhere. So this is for you Uncle Johnny, I love seeing your smiling face in my photograph because I know you're smiling the same way right down on me from heaven.
