Heavenly Smile

I have often talked to my kids about my brother, Nick, who passed away in 2003. I have showed them some pictures to get them to link him to Ryan, Madeline, and the whole family. Today Taylor picked up a picture of my brother and I, one I hadn't showed her and said, it's you and your brother....I miss him like you do. Then she said I want to draw him a picture for when he gets back from heaven. Talk about pulling at my heart strings. Kids can be so insightful. Their pure honesty is so touching. I miss my brother every day and always wish he could see me in this life, as a mom, my most important job. My brother and I always had a lot in common, right down to a ridiculous stuffy nose. It would be a joy to share this time of my life with him.
