As Melissa wrote, you are singing even with the tears rolling down. Keep working at your nest and teaching Nic & Hannah to sing, too. Thanks for the link; it is a powerful reminder. xolisa
ReplyDeletePS I saw a little boy this morning that reminded me so much of Max...I let out a little laugh when he stuck his tongue out like Max would when he was concentrating. Thinking of Max ALL the time....
I read the whole post, it is very touching. I feel it too, when all is said and done, life is worth the effort.
ReplyDeleteMax didn't get the chance to grow up and live his dreams. I've resolved to make the most of the time I've been given.
