Smile

Benjamin's smile and laughter is so contagious. It always has been. He's been smiling and laughing ever since I can remember. I love it! And he loves to make Samuel smile too. When we are in the car he often talks to Samuel, then tells me very excitedly, "He's smiling, Mommy!" Benjamin loves to make people smile. It's his gift. His job. I love it.

Days go by faster because of Benjamin's smile and laughter. I treasure it and love to laugh with him.

(These are some smiley photos of Benjamin taken last summer with Daddy's barret).

Smile by Nat King Cole

Smile though your heart is aching
Smile eventhough it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by

If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through for you

Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near

That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile

That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile

Keep on smiling Daddy-O!! We miss you and love you so much.
