Do you know the type of laugh that starts off as a hard belly laugh, gets airy in the middle and ends in a giggle? That's the laugh that Sammy would have when Vince played this "game" with him. They would play this game often and many places. We would be walking (most times Sammy would be in a wheel chair) and it could be around Chicago, or around the streets of Pontiac. It didn't make a difference. Vince would act like he didn't see a tree or a pole and run into it and the laugh would happen. As an adult, I really didn't think it was that funny but Sammy's laugh was so contagious! He would laugh like it was the first time it happened and he was surprised. And when he stopped laughing he would say......"Again Dad! Again!" Vince would continue to "run" into things and Sammy would laugh and laugh. It never got old for Sammy! I miss that laugh but am thankful that God has given me the memory of this laugh. I can close my eyes and listen and hear it. Sammy enjoyed life at every angle and every turn and every bump in the road! What a gift he had. I am so thankful he shared it with me.
It doesn't get any easier, we just get better at it. God is good.
