You will smile for real again one day,...I noticed. You will smile for real again one day, but it will probably never be the same - duh, of course it won't. That was a stupid comment. Anyhow, when I saw your smile in a recent post, I noticed that, but it is a start. You're forcing your muscle memory to recall what it felt like and one day it may be closer to your genuine huge grin. I can imagine times in your future life when something will cause your face to break in to that huge grin. You may even catch yourself wondering how that happened, but it will. When I saw that recent fb pic it reminded me of the lesson that some teachers do with thier students about bullying. The one where they have the figure of the person (like a gingerbread or candyland game piece) that they tear up and then put back together to show that it never goes completely back together. That is how I imagine it will be. You know my optimism has been known to be misguided but I really do imagine you and Mike with your wide smiles once again.

You nai...I could have written this same exact post. You nailed it with this one. I think I tell myself "fake it till you make it" at least 4 times a week. Let's hope we can both find that joy again some day in the future. Kelly Pavidishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05706633224425471604noreply@blogger.com
