The four of us made our way down together with slow, sad steps. It was like we all were so listless and lifeless. By the time that we all got to the doors to join our family in the royal tower's dining room, I literally felt like we were all walking to a funeral rather than a meal. That wasn't the mood we needed to enter the room with.
"Hey guys, look at me for a moment." I crouched down and called out to them and had them turn to face me. I could see that they were close to tears, but they weren't fully crying. "I know we're all sad and miss Mommy. We want her to wake up soon, but we have to be patient. However, I think Mommy would like it if we were all just a little more upbeat. She wouldn't want to see us so sad right now. We need to stay strong so that we can make sure everyone else is strong. That is what Mommy would want from us. So come on, let's put some smiles on those faces and do our best. For Mommy's sake, right."
