An old man wakes up every morning, with a huge smile upon his face.
As he walks down the street,
he passes a young mother who is stressing for
her children.
In the midst of all her chaos,
she sees the man smile.
And nods her head
and smiles down at her children.
The man continues walking
down the street. Until he sees
a couple auguring. He walks up to them and waves,
then smiles.
The couple both look at each other, with tears in their eyes and smile.
The old man rounds the corner, and sees the gates.
His smile only grows wider as he walks through.
He walks down the pathway,
searching for his happiness.
As the man walks
he begins to think of how he changed today.
He looks down at the stone
and pulls out a letter.
The old man opens it
and starts to tear up and sing, "Your smile my Darla lights up the room! You're smile grows everyday, my sweet Darla. How we miss you so. My sweet Darla. Don't forget to smile."
The old man kisses the letter
and places it on the tombstone.
It reads: Darla Peterson, The most happiest person alive! Amazing wife and mother. May a strangers smile live on in your spirit!
