The world moved on, as it always does.
Skyscrapers still scraped the sky.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5VyiuwKPt
Stock tickers still blinked.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQE6pMZju14
The Sarah Joseph Conglomerate remained at the top—17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEQfvfRFiz
But its heart had gone quiet.
Yet in a small apartment tucked away in the city,17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdPk7p0Pow
Happy Kingston sat by the window, wearing a scarf he once gave her,17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4n4NjlVa9r
and wrote.
Not in sorrow.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC80fMz8Q35
But in remembrance.
She began publishing his journals, the ones he never showed anyone.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1s4VtmrhYh
His thoughts. His pain. His dreams.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUZKJz8L7u
She titled the first book “The Boy Named Smile.”
And the world listened.
The story of the boy who was blamed for a mother’s death,17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDCrqLdYg3
who grew up in shadows,17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBTz8FHnU5
who loved once and only once—17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTOHcYjUoK
and who finally smiled because of love—17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTyXVQpBD8
captured the hearts of millions.
Schools began teaching his philosophy:17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeA8IcIfVf
Pain doesn’t have to define you.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUb01yMVWO
You can write your own ending.
Statues were built.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3lhiyVUpI
Funds were created in his name.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6HRXQ0YjR
Mental health programs spread across Alexandra and beyond.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHncRqCAZ9
People began to speak up, cry freely, heal slowly—17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaR1Wp83PH
all in his name.
Happy visited his grave every year.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtb20pV202
Not in tears. Not in mourning.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyVoavVon6
But with quiet peace.
She brought wildflowers—the kind he once said smelled like Elda Sonet’s garden.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSqdhYz7IU
She would read him letters from the people he’d unknowingly saved.
And sometimes—just sometimes—she would hear the wind rustle the trees17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzIorGwEHA
and feel warmth on her face,17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiomMdLcdH
like he was there, listening.
Years passed.
Happy continued to live—not in sorrow, but in promise.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUz0aKL8ehS
She smiled more, laughed louder, and helped others learn to do the same.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx30IIxySkf
She carried him in her heart like a quiet flame.
And one day, when her own time came—17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvxoB0xOc4
She didn’t fear it.
She lay peacefully, a soft smile on her face,17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4ahrFehY3
and whispered his name one last time.
“Smile.”
Some say true love ends in tragedy.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTAz6u636r
But maybe, this one didn’t.
Because somewhere in the stars,17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUNYBI5kyb
A boy who had never smiled17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSbLfYCZo2
Waited for a girl who had always been happy—17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4HtqpZYFp
And when they met again,
They both smiled.
For where there is Smile, there is Happy.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdU5OMBvDZ
And where there is Happy, Smile lives on.
He did not die. He simply chose to live forever...17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wvr2UOvWY
in happiness.
