smile

I was sitting at a stoplight yesterday & the car in front of me had about 29 bumperstickers on it. My favorite said:

"Smile, your mom chose life"

After acknowledging the humor, I realized how much this statement truly resonates with me. I was adopted as a baby. My birth mother chose life. Smile, your mom chose life too! 

This little one's mother chose life. She didn't choose death, but it was inevitable. He and his twin sister are just under a year old. I met them when I was visiting children in Uganda who live in the village...he's only one beautiful face out of so many who have been orphaned. 

Next step? That lollipop...right into my hair...
