Oh to be in perfect blissful harmony. This picture is my inspiration for me to continue to believe that I can feel peace and serenity in my life once again. Sometimes, when I get so down and depressed, I like to gaze at little Gloria sleeping and just marvel at the calm expression on her face. I used to do the same thing with Kevin. Whenever we would stress about money, or being tired and cranky or whatever, I would wait until he took a nap and just watch his face. The whole day would melt away in the hush of his breath . . . eventually this would burst into an howling snore! But always with the same serene face. It is a main reason I didn't want his casket open. I was always comforted by his peaceful sleeping face nuzzled against me, and I like keeping that image perfect in my memory. So, now I can look at our beautiful daughter and I see hope, joy, calm, peace - instead of a silhouette of her father's resting corpse. It is a comfort that God has given me and I am so thankful for.
