He was in denial.

She was being optimistic.

He was living in the moment.

She wanted to stay real.

Her mother kept the kids after school.

The doctors said it may be a matter of months.

They lived each day as if it were the last.

They all pitched in to stand together.

They made hay while the sun shined.

This, they said, is all we have.
