A Precious Giggle

Her needs are great. The things that come naturall1y to most of us, like breathing, require great effort on her part. She suffers so much and fights so hard.

But she knows how to smile. Despite the weariness of her little body, her face still lights up in happiness. She beams when we tell her how beautiful she is. Sometimes she laughs and it takes all of her strength. She begins to cough and almost chokes on her laughter.

That's when we're reminded of how precious her giggle really is.
