I have seen what a laugh can do. It can transform almost unbearable tears into something bearable, even hopeful.

For me, personally, it's almost unbearable. He and I had a lot of plans for what he wanted to do when he got out. We had planned to visit Washington together, for one.

Happiness is always there. You just have to choose to see it. There's no point dwelling in the dark and ignoring the light of the stars.

Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion . . . . I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward.

I just love to make a whole roomful of people laugh.
