Smiles

You went into your semi-annual funk and Hate HG period in mid-October and came out of it in early November, 2018.

I asked you to smile, trying to use a psychosomatic feedback loop to help you break out of your doldrums during that rough patch. It didn’t work but I kept trying to make you smile.

You emerged from that cycle as I trust you will emerge from this one. You apologized for being a bitch and as always Adela I forgave you. You started talking more, and laughing.

And then out of the blue, just before Thanksgiving (US, not Canadian 😉 ) you sent me this:

The Smile I’ve Asked For

And for a bit, everything was alright and more.
