My Wish
My wish for Landry in creating a happy, peaceful life is summed up in this piece. Mother Theresa was a big fan of it and I thought it was certainly worth repeating.
Do it Anyway
People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful you will win some false friends and true enemies; Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, some could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you've got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway.

This is truly beautiful.
Renee,
Thank you for your comment on my blog. I'm really glad that Todd and Kristin told you about me, Taylor and Kinsey. I would love to talk to you one day about what happened with Sophie...and how you got through losing her. Thank you also for your prayers, they are much needed and appreciated. Your daughter Landry is beautiful. I pray that one day soon I can have a playmate for her on earth, just like Kinsey and Sophie in Heaven.
