You know, in my life recollection, I was not aware of these sweet welcoming smiles as being a part of my past. I focused on the smiles that I carried, as a young child, in myself to myself as I would dance through the large vacant rooms of a house clean and neat but devoid of sound and people who knew how to love.
I come from this memory only because I arrive in the here and now. I realize with different eyes opened to the world around me that people are different, many sided and unique. And I see grandmother's smile and feel the deeper compassion she offers me where I can feel grateful and loved. Thank you for bringing us this memory that I can appreciate now in all its richness.
