I would want this on my tombstone:
If you heard my laughter or saw my smile,
then you knew I was happy living the moment.
Author notes
Once
I would want this on my tombstone because I try to make the best of a bad situation. I laugh and smile but never from the heart. So if you were that person who got to see me laugh and smile from my heart, then you knew I was forgetting my past and future and just living in the moment. And was happy enjoying life.

I think that is such an admirable way to be... although I have to say... I am also one of those people who tries to make the best of things. When everything is crumbling in the family or soemthing, I am the one who holds together, to be strong for everyone else... and you know... a smile or a laugh doesn't really mean that you were REALLY GENUINELY HAPPY at that moment. You know what I mean? Though I do love this quote, I am just not sure it's completely accurate.
