We had fun and laughed, even when we may have wanted to cry

It's hard to imagine laughing when your

baby, your son, is on life-support.

Humans are amazing, in the most dire circumstance,

one can find joy, if one looks hard enough,

if one allows that feeling in, in spite of it all.

his hand in hers, he's making a joke,

laughing at it even if it's not that funny.

one adapts, as one has to, 

even knowing that in one second or one

minute, the game may be over and finding

joy may be hard to find,

until you do. 10/20/21
