The Laughter

Yes, there will be tears.

There should be laughter, too.

Not forced jokes. Not inappropriate humor.

The kind of laughter that comes from remembering someone exactly as they were.

A favorite saying. A crazy adventure. A habit everyone teased them about. A story the whole family has heard a hundred times—and still laughs at.

Laughter doesn't take away from the loss.

Sometimes, it's one of the best ways to remember the life.
