I hope that in adult years of my children’s life they remember how often they laughed…that they remember all the fun and silly things that made them giggle and squeal…all the unexpected adventures and discoveries that resulted in hoots, snorts and chortles.  An old lady told her granddaughter today that her birthday was during the same time that her brother had passed away…a very sad event and that we are all very sad during this time of year…and I watched the little girls spirit and brightness collapse under the gravity of this pressure and like a star dying cave in on itself and become a black hole – very sad indeed.  This thing of sadness and despair…the fear and shame of living, and living well and happy and full of joy…is a thing I just don’t understand.  I love the delightful sounds of my children’s laughter and their beautiful smiles and amazing grins…these are things that give life and purpose…these are the things that are affirming for spirit and soul. These are the things that I understand give light…why would you chose the darkness?

Happy-Kids

About Lawrence Lewis

I do a number of things professionally...but most of all and the true purpose of what I do through "my work" is to provide for my family, be a good husband and great father, and try to make a difference as a world citizen...I guess it's not much more complicated than that 🙂
