"Little Evan, that's grandma and uncle Bryan." My father smiled. I've never seen a photo of my grandmother in her younger years. She's been an elder all of my years of living. And may I say, I had a beautiful grandmother. My father and uncle do resemble her in a way.

"Daddy, why were you so sad in this one?"

"Oh Evelyn, I wasn't sad. It was just my natural face."

"But, daddy, you never look sad. You always smile, because you told me that smiling was showing how you're never upset about anything."

My father chuckled. "Yes, but I had my moments. We all get upset at one point in our lives. But, it's best you smile to show how strong you can be."
