The Best Gift

I was styling a woman's hair at the nursing home I am filling in at,  this woman didn't talk and if she did it was jibberish.  I was putting curlers in her hair and she let out a belly laugh, not to anyone or anything, she just laughed.   I instantly thought of Alec when he was a baby, he would laugh while he was asleep, a big smile would come across his face and he would giggle and giggle. It made me think and know that someone unseen was making him laugh.
So as I was doing her hair and she laughed, I felt so strong that someone unseen was making her laugh and I thought to myself, I wonder who is making her laugh.
Then she said, "Oh what a good looking boy",  and she looked right in my eyes. And I said "Who?"  And she said,  "Your Son".     I smiled as my eyes stung, and she looked straight at me again and said, "He's a handsome, good looking boy".  I smiled and said Thank you.
What a gift.    These were the only words she said the whole time she was there.
