Giggles

A month or so ago I blogged about my friend Leslie who was involved in a terrible car accident. Today I went to the care center to see her for the first time since the accident. There is a large scar on the right side of her nose/eye area. She is a bit groggy from all the pain medicine, but she is sitting up and talking, and to tell you the truth, Leslie has never looked better to me. I hugged her and kissed her and told her that I loved her. Words that I should have told her long ago..before the accident. I've always loved Leslie, and it is a shame that it took almost losing my good friend to make me say the words. Leslie has a giggle that is unique and one that makes you giggle back. Leslie isn't doing much giggling right now. A small smile is all she can squeak out, but I'll take it, and look forward to the day when the giggle returns.

Life is precious. I thank God for mercifully sparing her. The look of of relief on Dale's face tells me he is thinking the same thing.
