The joy of Laughter

Most nights, when trying to sleep I can hear my son, Tim, laughing.  Roaring laughing.  Not just little giggles but his laughter is loud.   He really enjoys watching his Youtube shows and his animie plus a few extras.  But its like no matter what he is watching, it is making him laugh.  Although sometimes I'm watching what he is watching and I'm just clueless to what he is laughing about. 

Timothy really enjoys laughing.   IT is one of his biggest gigs and reasons to fight for his life and stay alive. He, as handicap as he is,  is really enjoying his life as it is. 

As they say...."laughter is the best medicine"    It might a wonder that maybe that is why he is having a wonderful fulfilling life.  Laughter!  

Sure the ventilator is helping him breath, the g-tube is feeding him and his medications are doing their job...but what about his loud roaring laugh that you hear for 8-12 hours a day when he is not sleeping.  I do keep the baby monitor on in my room, so while I'm (trying) to sleep in my room, I can still hear him laugh.  

Tim is enjoying life and I think his laughter is truely his medicine.
