The choice

Tori collapsed a year ago, today.

This has been the most profoundly sad year of my life with enough tears for a lifetime.

I'm getting through the day, however, thanks to a quote from the movie, "Shawshank Redemption," that's been stuck in my head.

"I guess it comes down to a simple choice, really. Get busy living or get busy dying."

I know Tori would insist that I choose the former so that's what I'm trying to do.

I rarely disagreed with her advice; she was smart, practical and always down to earth.
