Just checked the mail and was so pleasantly surprised to have received a box from the lovely cafeteria staff that I befriended while attending Wheeling Jesuit University. And then I was so wonderfully shocked to open it & see such a beautiful blanket filled with many of my most cherished memories with my mom & family. This most definitely has brought a smile to my face! Thank you Terrie, Jackie, Darlene, & Dianne! 🙏🕊💜 #SmileStory #BohtheSmileGuy #ChrisBohinski #DocBoh #Hap

4 months before my father passed away from brain cancer, he and my mom enjoyed my university’s parents day weekend. Now don’t get me wrong, my dad was always proud & excited for me but this photo in particular is extra special. It was taken right after I was announced my college’s homecoming king. Now you all know how excited I get with things but you should have heard my dad in the audience when I was declared the winner...it was almost as if he had won! And you know what? H

We walked slowly across the back porch, or at least as fast as Mom could go, taking in the autumnal colors. “What’s bothering you?” she asked, squeezing my arm. She knew something w

For my college studies, I ultimately picked the school that “felt right” when visiting there with my mom & dad. Once I began, I realized how involved my campus was with service & mission work for others. I have always enjoyed helping others, but I never envisioned doing 1,000+ service hours during my undergraduate studies. In line with the Jesuit ideals, I quickly was taught that service to others also means putting ourselves in someone else’s shoes to be able to relate to su

📖 Never in a million years did I ever think a nationally circulated magazine would feature a 6-page article about me & my mom & how we remain positive and optimistic and especially keeping smiling in times that most people would consider set-backs. 💜 Never in a billion years did I ever think that this article would include a picture of me & my mom with Kristin Chenoweth during her #SmileStory interview. 🤩 Be sure to frequently check my NYCSmile4Me.com website so you can be

It was thrilling to watch the University of Scranton get filled to maximum capacity as the start time neared & share this special moment with my parents as we got to meet John and his daug

Throughout college, I was involved with an after-school mentoring program. For most of that time, I was partnered with a young man named Danny. For 3 years, 6th grade then 7th grade then 8th grade Danny and I ate dinner together every Wednesday in our campus cafeteria, worked on homework, and participated in team-building games with the other mentors & mentees...always doing those things with a smile! A few days ago, Danny sent me an encouraging message after seeing some of t
