Haha HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA...

That's how Ms. D laughs. The initial Ha-Ha is quick and relatively quiet followed by a long loud continuous Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. I'm not entirely sure how to describe that sound although it is laughter and it is so funny. This is all followed by uncontrolled face squinty that seems to hold in some of the sound. During this latter phase she sometimes leaks tears, happy tears. Onlookers have often mistaken this for a painful occurrence but it is not. You either love her loud laugh or hate it, and I LOVE it, it's one of my favourtie sounds of all time. It always makes me smile, inside and out.

She doesn't always laugh like that just if something really catches her off guard or something is so darn funny she's overcome by it (it, the funny thing now not her laugh. Pardon my ambiguous pronoun). Last night, she laughed like that, and then some. There were tears dripping off of her cheeks like raindrops from the sky, it was awesome. How can you not be filled with happiness after listening to the truest laugh of al laughs. Thanks Ms. D.
