Katherine, when you smile, the world (and the people) around you light up. You have a very special gift to brighten people’s days in an instant with your gorgeous smile that stretches across your face and makes your beautiful blue eyes sparkle.I have to admit, I’ll do anything to make you laugh… I’ll hug you, make funny noises and faces or give you a big kiss. Often you reward me by grinning widely from ear to ear (and if you throw in a giggle too… well, I can’t help myself but giggle with you). But some moments, I don’t need to do anything – you just look in my eyes and smile; those are moments full of love and connection and I they are etched into my heart forever.
You are teaching me that laughing more, sometimes over silly things, gets me to take myself – and the people around me – not so seriously. Life feels much lighter when I laugh and smile more; I feel happier, am less stressed and seem to cope much easier with the little curve balls life throws me. And you are teaching me that giving away a heartfelt smile to a partner, a friend or even a complete stranger, costs nothing more than a moment and often means everything.
