The Story Behind Your Smile
A sad tale resides inside every
tear that moistens our cheeks
A legend illustrates the scars
we wear like proud badges
A saga explains the triumphs
and tragedies of our lives
The only thing I need is to be
the story behind your smile
Photo of my wife Allie taken by me (August 2015)
Wow!
Wat wud anyone wish, beyond this!
Wen you can be the story of the smile for your loved ones!
: )
Love to Allie

LOL THank you. Just came back from Doc. Mixed news. I see the eye surgeon tomorrow. Surgery within a week or two., May need a second one after that. Will keep you posted. PRAYING you are well. You were in my thoughts while I was at the MD. It was as if you were there. Be well Diane. Big freaking hugs.

I am well, I was at dinner w my girlfriends, just seeing this now. I’m glad you see the surgeon soon. Hope they do surgery quickly, I know it will go well. I am sure surgery involving your sight is a very stressful thing, especially for a writer. Just think how wonderful it will be soon! I am well, no new news yet, sending prayers your way, too, Andrew. Lean on me whenever you need and I will do the same. We will get through this! xoxoxo
