Our Amazing Callahan!

Sometimes the simplest of things can really mean the most. Our precious Callahan captured this so well in a poem she wrote and posted for Robynn called "SMILE" After numerous people at the hospital heard and were touhed by it we felt it necessary to bring it to everyones attention to enjoy. Thank you Callahan!
Love, Uncle Brian and Aunt Robynn

Smile.
Smile often.
Smile proud.
Smile wisely
Or,
For no reason at all.

Smile so it can turn to laughter.
Smile so that it hides the tears.
Smile at your friends.
Smile bigger at your enemies,
In hopes they will become your friend.

Smiles are like escapes,
They save you.
When hopes are fallen,
And faith is low,
They catch you.
They’re proof that life can improve,
Proof of kindness in people.

Smile to catch those
With fallen hopes and faith.
Smile because you love her.
Smile because he loves you.
Smile with innocence of the unknown future.
Smile with confidence of the present.
Smile.

Smile often.
Smile to escape.
Smile…….
Just to smile.

Hi, Robynn:

Just wanted you to know that Katie and I are keeping you and your family in our thoughts and prayers constantly. This "smiling" poem certainly captures our memories of your sweet, smiling face when we used to stop in to visit you and Kerrie during the La Bou working days. And it is pretty obvious that you continue to bring joy to all those around you. Thank you.

We are so happy that you were victorious over your clotting levels this morning and hope that things continue in this positive direction. We will be keeping only positive thoughts for you in your fight.

Take care, hon.

Michelle Rinehart (Kerrie's Aunt)

I left a message yesterday - but must've done it wrong.

Rest and relax and grow stronger.
Let go and let God share your load.
He'll guid you through each day and make your spirits strong.

We're so happy you're feeling better.
Luv u lots,
Andrea and Ron
