Getting Back Up

"You know, kid, what happened, happened. It was a terrible thing, but some day you have to get over it. It doesn't have to define you. You have a chance to do something great with your life, but I can't want it for you. Terrible things happen to people every day, but they've got to get back up." - Jim Pedro

This quote reminds me of the type of advice my dad would have given. Both joy and misery lie before us, like two paths to very different lives. Fear and anger push us toward the poorer one. We can choose the better one. Especially if we put faith and love in our hearts.
