I hadn’t seen her smile as much…ever. Of course, I wasn’t around for the first 10 years of her life. I wasn’t present to witness her holding each of her four children for the first time either. We haven’t lived in the same town since the 90s, so I don’t know everything about what’s brought her happiness. But I do know that I hadn’t seen her smile as much…ever.
This past weekend I was blessed to officiate my oldest sister’s wedding and I learned about the power of a smile. Friday evening (rehearsal/dinner) and Saturday morning (the day of the wedding) were filled with smiles. Powerful smiles. My sister’s happiness was contagious. Virtually everyone I spoke with had something to say about it. It spread like wildfire.
She deserves it. I am so happy for her and Harvey. They are bringing people together in wonderful ways. I shall never forget August 1, 2009. I learned the power of the smile.
Have fun y0u two! Love you both!
