Today We Laughed

Today we laughed.
Our normal 24/7 laugh.
The always-being-silly laugh.
It's been a while.
Even prior to recent events the laugh was not full. Honest.
There was a sense of worry.
A nervous, 'I am really scared' kinda laugh.

Today we laughed.
The silly I am happy! laugh.
It felt good.
I can see clearer now.
Possibilities.
A continuation of Luke and Laura's story.
Maybe.

I flash back to the throws of neurological consequences-
Wires glued to my angel's scalp...
Her hair caught in a tussle with an electronic turban...
Strangers recording circuitry in chaos within her head...
Her arms bruised, punctured and beaten by prodding technicians...
Bones stressed beyond their limits...
Convulsing muscles...
Veins painfully shrinking...
Diapers freshly changed...

A simple question in search of her presence
the neuro-doc asks,
"Do you know why you are here?"
"Of course" my angel responds
from her soul-filled eyes.
"For the humor".

Yes, my angel.
We laughed today.
