It was as if someone thumped my head with a hard shoehorn! Suddenly, it made sense why my feet hurt (I think pain can be like an ignored piece of your wardrobe?).
“Did you know you’re wearing the wrong shoe size?” asked the kind and knowledgeable saleswoman. If you know me, then you aren’t surprised I started giggling. She shared tidbits I’ve never been told (or I can’t remember?):
“You need enough room to account for swelling.” “Did you know our feet continue to grow as we age?” “Our feet and toes weren’t DESIGNED to fit into today’s shoes.”
We bragged about our favorite shoes! Oh, and the ones that love us back, like our Birks. They give our toes plenty of room to be exactly the way God designed our feet to be (my dear friend Kim inspired this thought, too). “Wouldn’t it be nice if I could “plug” in my height, weight, hair color (just kidding, tee hee), and a “one size fits all” shoe would appear? After an exhausting hour of trying different brands and styles I made a choice. So far, so good.
All sizes vary.
Do not conform to the pattern of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
Romans 12:2
My current views in classrooms offer a variety of sizes! Hearts, minds, emotions, attitudes, learning styles, bodies, and abilities come in “assorted” sizes.
It’s easy to see ourselves through others’ eyes. People will “size you up” quickly. Social media deals a good hand in that game–280 characters, a paragraph rant or rave, or a meme. Whether you’re squeezing into something that doesn’t fit or swallowed by something much bigger than what you need, I know a “one-size-fits-all” God that will make sure YOU fit just right! Ah, surrender. It’s not easy, but necessary and liberating!
There are times I try to squeeze myself into a worldly shape. Am I trying to “fit” into this world or am I keeping an eternal perspective?
God, without you, NOTHING fits right.
In the end, the size of our shoes, wallets, bank accounts, and homes won’t matter. Catastrophic evidence of this has been felt across our country. If a one-size-fits-all compassion, grace, and kindness would exist every day, perhaps we’d stop sizing one another up and just…love.
Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love.
Francis of Assisi
Last Saturday I began this piece. That afternoon a friend shared her husband’s passing. His death was unexpected. My heart hurts for her and the family. Even with faith, loss stings. Suffering ends for one and begins for those who stay behind. I cannot provide any words of comfort but, “I love you.” That evening two other friends and I spoke of survivor’s guilt. It seems selfish to share. It’s hard to separate circumstances from God’s purpose. I don’t want to tell someone (or even hear) “It’s God’s will.” Yes, I believe that God will never leave or forsake me. Why do I know that? I’ve experienced it. Can we extend a hand or a hug out of mercy? Compassion without cynicism. If our Western “workdays” were realistic, we’d spend more time tending to our families, gardens, and overall emotional, mental, and physical health. Struggles are real. Suffering unites us; just as happiness can. As my grandkids grow, family and friends age, and seasons shift, blessings are still bestowed. As I balance health, habits, and happenstance, I’ll keep an eternal perspective with an inspired intuitive initiative. There’s very little I can control, but I have a huge part in how I react. Will you join me in forging forward with faith (and how about Flannel?)?
You are loved. Keep the faith.💛

My favorite shoe size is created by walking through deep water, and when they finally dry they fit perfectly. Thank you again, for posting beautiful pictures and thoughtful words.
I love that! A perfect shoe size! I appreciate your support and encouragement (and wisdom!)!
My favorite shoe size is created by walking through deep water, then letting them dry out. Thanks for the beautiful photos, and wonderful words.
I’m just wondering, when women own a lot of shoes, does this mean they can speak in tongues?
I like your perspective on controlling the way we react. That’s about all we have, when it comes to many things. It’s a wise perspective, in my opinion.
Oh, Tippy! I’ve missed you! You smart nut. lol 😂
I’m that person that has shoes from 7-13? Years ago (and clothes) wondering why they don’t still look fine or gasp! I sewed a button on a pair of pants that I bought 8 years ago because I don’t want to give up on them lol. But shoes? I’m too poor to buy cheap shoes.
I practice a lot of stoicism (without trying to be too stoic? 🙃). I’m a perfect mess in practicing! Practice is a great thing!
Thank you for your support and encouragement, my friend.
Too poor to buy cheap shoes? That’s a rather amusing line.
😂🤭 yeppers!
If I buy cheap, I’ll repeat. One good pair at a hearty price better be the best to last!
Ah, I see. It all works out in the long run.
It’s all about the heart and sole, Tippy 🤦🏼♀️💚😂
Yes. That’s how to polish your character.
🥰 these boots were made for walking…
As a shoe maven who finally came to terms with the aftermath of a broken foot from years ago, I recently went through my closet and cast off 15 – FIFTEEN!! – pairs of kitten heels, pointy toes, shoes that made my feet “look small” and shoes that made them “look big” and I never wore… I punished my feet for the sake of what?? What sense of style did I seduce myself into thinking I had??? My sensible black performance flats look every bit as polished and treat me far better. My lovely lace up boots expand and contract with the addition of warm socks or none… no more go go’s for me.
Such is God’s love – when we cast off all our burdens that we conform to and rest in the comfort of his love – how much more alive is our living?? We can breathe freely and deeply an so much easier and dance with abandon.
I loved this post, Karla. Thank you!!
I’m so happy you’re feeling amazing in your sensible style, Erika! I’m all about it, my friend.
I was never one to wear heels very often ( unless special occasion). I did (and still do at times) wear cowboy boots, but had to go with square toe. I must have a wide toe box (a pin in my big toe reminds me that too).
Just as faith is our foundation,our bodies need foundational solid feet.
Isn’t it crazy what we try to squeeze into? I didn’t do it too long with shoes.
I’ve never really thought about style in other ways ~as I don’t consider myself stylish, but I do love comfort. Isn’t it awesome God knows our unique “styles” and we never have to dress to impress him?
I’m with you on the boots! And so much more!
Your words are so wise and precious. I appreciate you and thank you for your kind friendship and support! 🙏🏻❤️
His love is indeed a one size fits all Karla. If we open, so does His love…well, it feels like that, even though it is everywhere. The only thing that blocks it is us. But thankfully that has a purpose, it shows us where we are at within ourselves. Slowly seeing where there is too much chocolate, too little self love, and maybe the occasional tap on the shoulder to see something that little bit deeper as you said.
And thank you for that photo of you and Finn, I can ‘see’ you clearer. Your heart has indeed opened well kind lady. The smile in your eyes cannot be forced, it is love’s natural light. And almost like a ‘let go’ and acceptance of His love in your circumstances. It is a big journey, but its destiny is a very beautiful thing. I hope that indeed gives a great comfort and you are going through a better time on your path, and no doubt because you have ‘surrendered’ a little easier into His love. It is a powerful thing to do that ‘let go’ after a lifetime of being on guard. But the freedom of that love, as you said…there are no words for.
I am very sorry to hear of a friends passing Karla, it does touch us so profoundly because of loves connection. And yes, makes us appreciate more what we have in having that time…the sharing, the understanding and that love that only that connection can make. And you are right, there are no words but ‘I love you’ to care for another in those times. It says it all…or even a hug, it too says it all.
And speaking of which, a big, big hug to you (and Finn). And I love you guys too. I hope you are in a ‘good’ space and those lovely adventures of Halloween in your pictures are an enjoyment for you to be out and about in the last of the warmth of summer.
Our vision changes in that acceptance of His love for us so much more, and all around can be seen so much clearer. And you are sharing that well Karla, especially that love found within you. Thank you 🤗❤️🙏
Dear Mark, thank you, my friend. Life is so short, isn’t it?
Love is the one connection that matters! A friend was sharing about kindness and compassion. And how much we need it!
“Our vision changes in that acceptance of His love got us and so much more, and all around can be seen so much clearer.” Powerful!
I’ve experienced many vision changes~you described perfectly the clarity that has given me a better view!
Thank you for sharing your life, words, experiences, …all the wisdom from a warm well of love! Finn and I love you too. I hope you’re doing well waaaayyyyy over there, my friend.
With Halloween approaching, and my very favorite~Thanksgiving around the corner~it’s a great time for the sweet (and sour!) parts of life to keep me in a posture of positive gratitude and grace! And I need that for each season!
Please take care. I wish I could send you more chocolate ~I gave the teeny tiny fairies a few weeks off (they’ve been fighting the winds and long work hours with tired wings). Instead, I’ll send healthy hugs and love! But do partake in chocolate when you can~such little bits of sweetness are a blessing!🥰🍂☀️🐾🫶🏻💚 🍫
Yayyy! 🥰🤣 Chocolate, healthy hugs and love gratefully received Karla. Thank you. And many wishes for relaxed fairies too, they do big jobs on so many fronts through the year. Imagine those jobs stopping eek 🤗
You guys take care too, enjoy your Halloween and Thanksgiving and have a great time. And just in case, sending lots of loving energy for all the excitement that goes with them 🤗🥰🤣❤️🙏
Mark, I gladly accept the energy!! lol 😂 can you please send it in bulk supply (and since fairies are off, send the whale size!). Lots of chocolate, love, and hugs! Do you see us waving? 👋🏻 🤗🍫👋🏻☺️☺️♥️
Oh Karla, you won’t believe what has just happened. I’ve just came back from meeting Dave, a friend of mine from interstate, and I’ve just came home and sat down and read your delightful comment back to me about you and Finn waving to me…and I have just seen a mother and child humpback whale swimming just out from us and they were waving their fins up out of the water and back down with big splashes and playing in the water. Was those waves from you? 🤣. I watched for a while and thought to rush back to my car to get my phone and at least try to get some pictures, but alas, He wanted me to watch that gift with my heart instead as they had moved further out. But it was indeed such a profound thing to see that beauty, and then read you and Finn are sending waves to me. You and God are so close, that connection is indeed so ‘literal’. Thank you 🤗🤣❤️🙏
Mark! That’s …..NOT crazy at all. How amazing is that? Those “literal” things happen to me all the time. It makes me smile so huge! I’m going to give a sneak peak at another miracle—-a gas station about the 450 mile mark of my travel —-at my feet, a painted rock with the word, “Faith” and a cancer symbol. Immediately I sent a pic to my “kids”. Holding that rock, tear welled up and I was able to physically complete the last 100 miles of my journey. I was having a difficult time and that FAITH rock was another God wink. God is so good, my friend! 🥰❤️ And Finn and I whale-size? Yes, that was us…tee hee!
Haha, and I was so excited that I’ve only just now realized you said…’send the whale size’ for that loving energy I was sending you. Now that is truly a synchronicity. I wished I could have got a picture. What an amazing day! And of course whale size waves and loving energy returned Karla. Keep an eye out in your local water ways 🤗🥰🤣😂😀❤️🙏
🐋😂❤️🙏
Oh Karla, that ‘Faith’ rock is such a powerful touch. To know He is with you every moment my friend, especially when we are being tested. Sorry to hear your journey was asking much of that delightful heart within you, I hope after seeing that ‘faithful’ benefactor was with you that your journey went so much better.
And I thank you and Finn for those big sized waves from the whales, as soon as I saw what you wrote I realized just exactly where those waves were coming from 🤣 Thank you both ❤️🙏 Big hugs, take care, and a little extra energy that all goes well 🤗🥰❤️🙏
Such timely truth!! And boy do I love that John piper quote! That should hit many of us, even those who are called by His name, right between the eyes.😵 Love you dearly friend💚
I love you, sister. 💚You have impacted my life in such incredible ways!
More than you know (and my toes!).
John Piper’s words have hit me that same way. Very timely words lately!
Thank you for your unwavering friendship, sisterhood, and support. 💚🙏🏻
You are such a beautiful soul. This post warms my heart, I feel the joy in you, the faith, the knowledge that we not be able to control anything in this life except our hearts, our peace, our compassion and most importantly our response to the mysteries that confront and confound us. Together we can manage just about anything. Oh my Karla, you are always on my mind and in my heart. I love you so tenderly and dearly little sis. Sending you big hugs, and lots of love, C
Big sis, C. I’m so happy to “see” you.🥰 I saw a couple riding their bikes yesterday and wondered if your hubby might have you out on an adventure.
Your response warmed my heart. ♥️ I’m so glad you can feel the joy and faith. Life is like a roller coaster isn’t it? And when you learn to react to the different curves, heights, drops, stalls, speed, and even break downs, it makes the ride more rewarding. You understand!
I notice how much effort it takes for me to do things. Intention. Energy. Motivation. When God is in it, HE supplies resources and fuel. When it’s all me, I’m spinning on fumes.
Oh, C, I’m listening and learning. And then, I have to rest and go silent. I’ll have my cry times, hard times, and through it all, my deep joy won’t leave. Circumstances can’t circumvent that confidence in Christ. It makes surrendering a gift. When we see ourselves through God’s eyes, we can see others that way too. Compassion continues! If I ever become cynical please hit me with a shoe horn!
I miss you and love you. Sending lots of hugs! ❤️💚🤗 you’re a gift. Thank you
Hello my precious friend. This is a beautiful post as always.
I never expected that one day I would not be wearing high heels. 👠👠👠 I always felt tall, had good posture, and felt well-dressed in my high heels. 👠👠👠 I bought shoes in Paris, in Rome, New York wherever we traveled. My feet will no longer allow me to wear heels and my balance is a little off so they were purged from my closet with teary eyes. I realized age had everything to do with it. It was a humbling (much needed) experience. I was often asked how many pairs of shoes did I own and would I bequeath certain ones to friends when I was no longer here. I was out of control with my buying of shoes. Now that is no longer a problem. I just want comfortable ones. Why did I share all of this? Just so you would know me from 10 years ago. I needed to be brought low in the shoe department and I was. 🥰🤗 Thank you for listening as I confessed my past love of shoes!
Now to be serious, I absolutely love the photo of you and Finley. Your inward beauty shines outward, sweet friend. You are always in my thoughts and prayers 🙏🏻❤️🤗
Aw, Pam. I love this! How neat! This is a judgement free safe place for confession! 🥰🤗
I can see you dressed in your heels~and how fun to buy shoes in so many places.
If my twin is reading this, she would love it, too.
I remember her always wearing certain heels and shoes that I couldn’t (school
Floors, lol).
When I downsized in homes, I did so in clothes.
Although, I’ll confess I had, (or have?) too many flannels. I will wear a pair of shoes every day until they collapse. I love hiking and tennis shoes. I have a pair of Twisted X’s leather Mocs that I’ve had for 14 years and crazy, I thought they were too big then but apparently I’ve grown right into them lol.
I’m definitely about comfort!
You are so precious and kind, Pam. Thank you for the sweet words and comments. Finn and I love you. Your prayers and encouragement continue to lift me. 🙏🏻💚❤️🥰♥️ I’m praying for you all.
A great analogy, Karla. Usually when one size fits all it doesn’t fit at all! Good to see your encouraging words. Glad you are taking life in stride these days. Hope teaching is going well for you. You are amazing! Love all your photos!
Thank you, Dwight! I think you’re amazing, too. You are so kind and encouraging!
The teaching is so fun. I learn so much! It sharpens my skills in every way! I’m humbled, recharged at times,…and some days, exhausted. The most I’ve done in a day was 7 hours and that was a lot for me. I’m balancing it all the best possible.
I hope you are all doing well. I’m so happy you enjoyed this post and pictures. Many blessings, dear Dwight! 💚🙏🏻
Thanks for reminding me of God’s timeless truths and inspiring me all over again, Karla. I am so sorry to hear about your friend’s husband’s death. You must feel a bit powerless in the moment (I know I would), but please know your presence is a healing gift at a time like this.
I love the John Piper quote you included. Scary and sad, but oh too true. Blessings, my friend.
Russell, how are you doing my friend? I needed to email and check on you. I tried to comment once on a post (your health?) and I’m not sure it went through.
You’ve taught me so much over these years, so your words to me are humbling and inspiring, too. My sweet friend has a few family members in. I met two of her uncles today ~one lives in Oregon and the other in Washington state. They were helping her so much! And I was able to hug and give her love. I can’t imagine the loss.
I learned this week of two more life altering moments for friends.
Also, I look around, observe, check on people, and see amazing life giving moments.
If life isn’t about love and helping one another, if it’s just all about grabbing brass rings, I think I’d miss a lot of soulful opportunities.
I’m happy you enjoyed this post and quote. I read so many different authors, Russell. And I receive newsletters, multi-faceted articles, news, faith-based,…I read some fiction. But mainly, nonfiction. My entertainment is old-fashioned in today’s standards. Yet, I’m spoiled as I’ll get out. Often I think of mission work and traveling to where over 3 billion in our world have never heard of the love of God. And, yet, I’m sipping hot tea(to even have water?), typing you on a device. I’ll forever live in gratitude, Russell. I’ll never take it for granted.
I’m sorry for the health challenges you and Joan have faced. I appreciate you so much. I’m glad we’re prayer warriors for one another! Many blessings! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Great post and photos!
Sending on fall blessings.
love, katelon
Dear Katelon, thank you so much for your kindness and support! Many fall blessings to you, too! Love, Karla ❤️
That did happen to me. My Husband of 24 years died unexpectantly. And you are right. The Lord’s purpose is all that really matters. He knows what the best thing is for us if we serve Him. I can look back now and see that His plan for me was so much better than I could see. I am so grateful to now be alone. I get to be with the Lord, and it is so much better than it was before. I would not change anything. He knew what was best. I now have privileges I did not have before that are unspeakably wonderful.
Your friend just needs your prayers. Only the Lord can heal her pain and redirect her day.
Your words are so sweetly inspiring. I hope you are doing well! Love you always!
❤️🥰😙🥇🕊️😘🌹💕
Sweet Momma Wenda, your testimony is truly inspiring. Thank you for sharing how your purpose was identified even in unspeakable ways and situations. I’m sorry for the unexpected loss and happy that you are so grateful for your life with the Lord. My testimony involves me being…alone. Yet, like you, I’ve told friends, “God needed me alone for me to be completely HIS.” When you’re completely dependent on him, the communion grows. The relationship with him is even stronger. I’m closer to Christ than ever—through singleness, disease, and so many other situations that are all just experiences that grew my grace and my strength to have the full indwelling of the Spirit. Once I experienced the unbelievable love and affection of God, I won’t let a slip of paper get between us ever again! HE feels a void that cannot be filled with anything or any one of this world. It can be spread to others to help and encourage them. For in the end, all that matters is my relationship with him. Nothing else will define my eternally. And love and mercy will define me immediately.
I pray that for my friend who has experienced loss. All who have loss and are suffering. And for those who are just…lost. God, help us all.
I’ll not stop praying.
Thank you for lifting me and sharpening my soul skills. You are inspiring, Wenda. I pray you are well, too. I’m in and out visiting my family. It’s a busy and beautiful time. The challenges are even sweeter through these moments. Love you always, too. ❤️🤍✨🙏🎶
The Lord knows what we need and allows what others may not understand but we are changed by it all. We grow under the load. My late Husband Gary had a vision during our worship together one time. He saw the earth was in darkness with lights scattered all through it. He told me I was one of those lights. I believe you also are one of the lights he saw. I believe that was Isaiah 60. I see how you affect people in such a beautiful way. Everyone loves you. Your compassion is so very strong. You are such a doll!!! Just love you so much! 😘💕🕊️🌹🥇🥰❤️☀️
Oh. My. Goodness. That sweet photo of you and Finley. I might just be keeping a copy. I’m definitely quoting you in my classes: “There’s very little I can control, but I have a huge part in how I react.” I’m thinking about your words in connection with a journal writing activity. I woke up to Rumi today: “You were born with wings. Why prefer to crawl through life?” And then Francis of Assisi—I love that one, too. Seems quite the day for quote collecting. And a perfect time to pray for you! I love YOU, Sister! Prayers start now. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Dear sister, C. I’m in your “neck” of the woods for a while—and I can’t thank you enough for your constant companionship in spirit. Your comments are humbling. Rumi’s words—they always impact me. Isn’t journal writing so impactful? In my soaking up time with the grands (I’m so late getting to responses here as I’m spending every moment immersed with them) and remembering how precious every hour we’ve given. And to fly. I was watching my son working on my car and a small monarch butterfly flew onto my hand. It was a split second experience and I rushed to show the kids. I was nervous about traveling and not feeling well; yet, to “fly” requires me to have faith to spread the wings. The prayers are wind beneath my wings. And I’m lifting you right now, C. Look at how you’re flying. I love YOU too, Sister. 💕🙏
Isn’t it funny how words like fly and symbols like the butterfly sometimes intermingle in a way that seems serendipitous? I always feel uplifted with your shares and prayers. 🦋🙏🏻🩵
That’s why I wear open shoes. I can grow as much as I like.
A lovely post my friend
Thank you, dear friend. Oh, I love that! “I can grow as much as I like.” I appreciate you, Sadje! ❤️💕
You’re most welcome
Greetings Karla. I was hoping to see a post from you, and as usual I’m feeling enriched and encouraged. When we trust God’s promises, He offers a unblemished Savior. As for shoes, I enjoy my Dockers Shoreward Fisherman sandals, and a brand new pair will be waiting for the warmer months to return. Blessings to you, Finley, family, and those wonderful children.
Karla, Fun and realistic way to embrace all we deal with. A one size fits all snap of the fingers and get shoes, pants, job, co-workers, etc. sound so tempting, but not of this world. Thank God for the grace and mercy to see our way through this life! Thanks be to God for our friends and angels on earth to care for us! : ) love you, Sue
I fit…such a great concept Karla. Sometimes I think the Spirit is whittling me to make me fit better though. My favorite outdoors aunt passed a few days ago. I have been spending time in the woods and the boat in remembrance. A peaceful grief.
So happy, Karla, to have caught up reading your wonderful blog posts! I always relate to so much and you ALWAYS help me keep the faith. (I think it’s time to clean out the shoes in my closet!)
I’m just reading a John Piper book right now. I’m so sorry for your friends loss, the more you come across loss, it doesn’t get any easier, any more explainable. But it does make you more aware of how important your faith is and just how much we need God. ❤️
One size fits all….🤔 hmmmm, that’s the size of God’s love and presence; which is always available and obtainable…., but never containable. Anyone who truly receives it cannot help but share it. His Love truly is “one”; unlike any other, and it’s “size”; which cannot be measured, is so great that it can fill every cup to overflowing.
Thank you for sharing your love, kindness, and inspiration, Karla. 🤗🙏🏻🎉🙌🏻
What a heartfelt and insightful post. I love your analogy about shoes—it really highlights how we often try to fit into shapes and sizes that aren’t right for us. Your thoughts on compassion and understanding, especially in the face of loss, resonate deeply. It’s so important to prioritize connection and kindness, especially during tough times. I appreciate your reminder to keep an eternal perspective and to respond with love and grace.
Enjoy your time making memories.
God Bless You today and always,
Thank you, dear brother! You are so precious. Your thought—“it really highlights how we often try to fit into shapes and sizes that aren’t right for us.” It’s so true! Your wisdom and insights give me so much encouragement and guidance. Thank you, as always, for being here and supporting me. God bless you today and always, too!
Thank you for being such an encouragement and a Blessing to us all. To God Be All the Glory, Honor and Praise.
Be Blessed and Continue to be a Blessing.
I too am so sorry for your friend’s unexpected loss of her husband. So hard. She’s blessed to have you–a compassionate, wise, and gracious friend. / As for shoes, I too focus on comfort these days. Love my Sketchers and Clark’s!
Thank you, Nancy. I appreciate your kindness, prayers, and support so much. Please accept my apologies for my late reply! Isn’t comfort the best thing? God bless you my friend!
Dear Karla,
I hope you picked the right shoes and I wish you smooth travels ahead.
All the best,
Tanja
Hello, Tanja, I did! Thank you for your friendship and support. I hope your days are filled with amazing adventures and good health, my friend.🍂
Your words always sustain me and give such food for thought, my dearest Karla. Did you know our noses grow too and it’s nose/of/our/business.. lol.. love you from your nose to your toes. I’m soooo sorry that your friend lost a loved one and your beautiful words had to be of such comfort. I love this and will send off to others too, my sister. Look at you looking so gorgeous and happy. You look soooo healthing too and the light of God is glowing through you so beautifully. xo 💓🙌🏽🙏🏼
Thank you sweet, C. I’m sorry to hear of you and your sister’s loss. 🙏🏻
I’m grateful for your kindness and support, big sis. Your words are so kind.
I have days I’m “dim”, but give God the credit for the inner light and peace. I always pray others feel and see it. And it’s to no credit for me other than being his “container!” C, I don’t mean this morbid., but I believe in my heart, when I take my last breath, HE will still shine through me because I’m “empty” of myself.
I love you, C!! ♥️❤️💚🙏🏻🥰🎶💕🐾
You’re so welcome. How weird i said sister. It was a friend in town, I just ran into and she loved it and was most grateful. She lost her husband. You are the essence of an angle and each breath is a gift and your light will always shine through and be reflected in your beautiful families eyes and all of us that share his lighght. xooxoxoxo love you so much❣️
