His smile

Over the past 3 1/2 years I've seen the many faces of Richard when I grab the camera and say "smile".

Some are silly, 

Some are over excited,

Some look confused

And some are just half smiles.

Unfortunately, when we started dating we were not young and carefree. We had baggage and children and guarded hearts.  But, over the last 6 months I've noticed a change in his smile. It's less forced, it's deeper, it's real. From behind the camera, my heart jumps every time I see one of his real smiles. I know God is healing his heart and I'm grateful I'm getting to witness the transformation and thankful that the joy of life is returning for him.
