This picture was taken when my son was almost one year old. He's 20 now and still a happy child, but I will always remember that smile and along with the giggles that came with it. In times of sorrow, it helps to remind me - there is heaven through these glimpses we see.
Once in awhile we all have a glimpse of heaven...
Doc Strix, my therapist and friend, told me this story:
"A few months back, I was stuffed inside a hot elevator. Serious, stiff sardines in suits. It took one infant, just one infant. To turn an elevator full of adults
into children. Gooing and gagaing like little children - a dozen little children in an elevator.
And you instantly know life is good!
It takes just one smile. Only one child. Who squints his eyes to slits in utter gleeful abandon...
When we shut our eyes that way, we glimpse heaven. And that one glimpse is enough."
