Tears streaming down my face

The minute I arrived at the Lake House, the laughter began and never stopped until I pulled out of the marina.

I can not remember a time when I laughed so long, so hard. My face was chapped by the tears streaming down my rosy cheeks, and my belly ached as we constantly chuckled.

A few times, I drifted into the family laughter trait where we make no sound and can not breathe because we are shaking, laughing, and have absolutely no control over our functions.

Then there is the snort, which many of us did back at college....and when the snort began again, the laughter picked up to a level not experienced in months.

I missed Terry's laugh. He has a wonderful laugh which I have missed hearing for 22 years. I did not even have to hear or know why he was laughing. Just hearing HIM and seeing him smile from cheek to cheek brought a smile to my face.

Being the finite person I am, I have no idea what Heaven will portray.

I sure hope it mimics the weekend I just spent with my dearest college friends.
