If you ask a parent what his or her favorite sound is, I think most would say the sound of their child’s laughter.
I totally get it. There is something about Reilly’s laugh that I find truly therapeutic and life-affirming. When she laughs, the sound just takes over her whole little body, and I’ll perform all kinds of silly capers to generate even the smallest giggle.
I wonder, then, if the saddest thing about raising Reilly will be when I won’t be able to make her laugh anymore?
