Now and Then


April 2010
         Before I knew it, Phil’s cheeks began to look droopy. The book the doctor gave me said this might happen. It didn’t bother me too much until one day I came home and saw that our school pictures had come in. They were on the refrigerator next to our pictures from last year. I don’t know why, but I instantly began to cry. Last year, Phil’s smile was bright and joyful; he truly looked happy. However, now his smile was barely full…it wasn’t that he was unhappy, it’s because he physically wasn’t able to smile. The mere fact that he wasn’t able to smile properly told me he was developing facial weakness and this troubled me so much.
