Smile

I realise that at times what I write here can sound a bit all doom and gloom. And some days really do seem like that. But everyday seems to have something in it that brings a smile. Most of those things are courtesy of the husband. In fact they are not just courtesy of the husband, they ARE normally the husband. I'm not so sure how I would be getting through all of this without him. Somehow he manages to be this tower of strength when I am just a crumbling heap. He helps to lift me up and helps me to keep my ever drooping chin up. There are other occasional things that bring a smile, like a nice email from a friend, or a lovely letter or a little facebook message or text. Those little things that remind me that I'm not in this alone, that friends and family are standing alongside me in these low moments. I like to smile. And I like the people that bring a smile.
