upswing

Someone I love has had a difficult year. For a time, when I would see her, her smile never extended to her eyes and they were often swollen from crying. As of late when I see her, her eyes are shining and she is almost glowing. I am sure that her life is not perfect and there are still things that make her sad, but, while she has always been lovely, she is more beautiful lately then I have ever seen her. My heart is overjoyed to see it.
