When everything is over, when things have all played out as far as they're gonna go, you smile.

You smile because the time has finally come for all the pain, all the guilt, to come to an end.

You smile because, though you've been at peace, your family has still suffered.

You smile because your husband is with you – forever, always and free from torment.

You smile because your sons, who've been through far too much, who've been tried and tested in ways they never should've been, are finally receiving peace.

You smile – because your family is finally together again.
