Sitting in the floor with pictures and memories scattered about.
Time passes so fast.
The kids are growing up so quickly.
I shut my eyes to all the pain, and focus on the good times.
There were a lot of them.
The laughter echoes in my head this dull night.
I resort back to happiness, and realize my life is not as empty as I once thought.
Even through the tears, I can see that I have made a difference.
And I know that I HAVE made a mark on this planet.
It has not all been in vain.
