"To be a star, you must shine your own light, and follow your own path. Don't worry about the darkness, for that is when the stars shine brightest."
"The moment that you died our hearts split in two. The one side filled with memories, the other died with you. We often lay awake at night, when the world is fast asleep, and take a walk down Memory Lane with tears upon our cheeks. Remembering you is easy, we do it every day. Missing you is a heartache that never goes away. We hold you tightly within our hearts and there you will remain. Life goes on without you, but it will never be the same." "To be a star, you must shine your own light and follow your own path. Don't worry about the darkness, for that is when stars shine brightest." "Forget you? No we never will. We loved you then, we love you still. Your memory is a fresh today, as in the hour you passed away." "Count your blessings by smiles, not tears. Count your life by friends, not years. "If I could reach up and hold a star for every time you've made me smile, the entire evening sky would be in the palm of my hand." "Memory
is the treasury and guardian of all things." "Shoot
for the moon. "The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart." (Helen Keller) "We are blessed, if only for a moment, by the love of a shining star. And we are given the gift of believing, that heaven is never too far." " Those we love must someday pass beyond our present sight . . . they must leave us and the world we know without their radiant light. We know that like a glowing star, their lovely light will shine to brighten up another place more perfect . . . more divine." "Even as the sun goes down to end the light of day, it's rising on a new horizon somewhere far away. And though our world seems darker for the loss of one we miss, our loved one's life is dawning in a brighter world than this." "Don't tell God how big your problem is. Tell your problem how big God is." "After all today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday. What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us." (Ralph Waldo Emerson) " Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." (Matthew 6:34) "There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it." (Edith Wharton) "Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens. Circumstances and situations do color life but you have been given the mind to choose what the colors shall be." (John Homer Miller) "We are not human beings on a spiritual journey. We are spiritual beings on a human journey." "A shining star is remembered not for how long it lasts, but rather for the brightness of its light." "And
in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. "We
hear your laughter on warm summer nights, and your voice on cold
winter days. We see your smile shine through the darkness, it's
line etched in our memories, because we know you by heart." "I am the star that burns the brightest in the night sky. I am the last light to fade into the rising sun. I'll never leave you, if you will only remember me. I'm with you whenever you tell my story. I will live forever as long as you keep me in you heart. Remember me." "Perhaps they are not stars in the sky . . . . . . . but rather openings where our loved ones shine down to let us know they are happy."

"To live in the hearts of those we leave behind is to live forever." Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you've imagined. (Henry David Thoreau) Good friends are like stars. You don't always see them, but you always know they are there. "Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle." "Those we have loved shine on. We look at the night sky in the quiet of darkness, and they are never far. Those we have loved and cherished, those who have changed our lives in some small or profound way are closer than we know. Because it is their light that shines on our world. It is the brilliance of their souls that makes our night sky glow." "Friends are angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly." "Memories are the most beautiful pictures the mind can paint; nothing can ever erase them." |
