The Smile Challenge

Richard was a Dr. Seuss fan. He had all his children’s books. And he demanded they be protected from visiting small children.

So I thought this image and the up lifting  message it presents would be a good choice for grieving parents.

It’s a tough goal. Sometime we can make it, sometime we can’t get there.

Wow…this is one of those God things! I was glancing at the articles on your blog, and noticed that this one was posted on the day my daughter was killed in a car accident. This is exactly the message I needed; the philosophy I am trying so hard to grasp on to in order to move forward. Thank you for sharing :)

Hi Traci – I’m really sorry you’ve joined this club.

The idea on this post is a hard one to pull off. It’s a daily struggle. But our children were a great joy and blessing. This fact should always overpower the pain. Some days it does.

I’m glad it helps you.

Remember the joy.

You know…so many people ask, “how do you you do it?” My response has always been…I really don’t have much of a choice, I either deal with it and move on, or give up and crumble. I know my daughter would have been so disappointed with the latter, so I choose to be strong. I am so relieved to so so many have made the same choice…thanks again!
