Laugh your heart out. Dance in the rain. Cherish the morning. Ignore the pain. Live, Laugh, Love. Forgive and Forget. Life&#039;s too short to be living with regrets.<br /> Never interrupt someone doing what you said couldn&#039;t be done. Amelia Earhart

How can it be?

That on this most somber day,

this terrible anniversary

of the tragedy that shattered so many lives

On this day the sky is opened up a beaming smile.

The world seems radiates life and light.

And even the darkness somehow gleams.
