Shona's Laugh
It was impossible not to be instantly lifted in spirits when Shona laughed. I loved that giggle that would grow to a guffaw; Shona trying to talk while laughing; the tears that usually resulted. I have been privileged to be around Shona when we both, tired and fully conscious of the absurdity of the situation, have become overcome with laughter. And I am proud that I could escalate it to the point where Shona would be as paralytic as I--completely flattened by laughter.
I will never forget that sound and I will miss it terribly.
