“Love begins with a Smile” (Blessed Mother Theresa)
I am always amazed how some women can smile and be so giving in spite of carrying so much suffering. My sister in law, Ann Sliney, is an amazing example of joy in the midst of adversity. With three children in college, and two special needs kids at home (downs syndrome and autism), Ann always seem to have a generous and loving smile on her face. She is a part time nurse and is very involved with her Church and her community, but she is totally dedicated to these children and to my brother. She knows how to make my brother relax and smile (not easy for a super type A guy) and she gives a strong look of love (and a warm smile) to her special needs kids all the time. Her smile goes a long way…it is sincere and you feel it!
