Lacy's Laugh

  My sister Lacy has the best laugh in the whole world.  For as long as I can remember I have loved hearing her when she's tickled about something.  She is just always an upbeat person.  Even though she loved to jump out and scare me beyond belief...I loved that she would laugh so hard tears would be coming down her face.

  She also laughs in not so appropriate times.  Like when she's done something wrong or is getting in trouble.  She use to spill a glass of milk and Dad would be so upset, but all she could do was laugh.  I'll never forget trying to teach her how to drive a stick, or Sara being in the passenger seat on the way to school.  Sara would tell her she was about to hit a all kinds of stuff and she would just laugh so hard.  It made us all crazy but looking back it's a great thing.

 So why all the memories?  Well, I was lucky enough to have a little Lacy (in the form of Brett).  She looks like him, she smiles, like him and he laughs like Lacy!  From the time he was little I always felt like I had her kid.  He is so much like her and I realized it's just a tender mercy of Heavenly Father to me.  I needed a "Lacy" in my life.  And Brett is the closest thing I have around me all the time.  He wants to be home with me more than he wants to be anywhere else.  He'll go shopping with me just cause that means we can be together!  And when he gets in trouble or does something wrong he starts to laugh!  The best part is he loves his Aunt Lacy!  He is a sweet, kind, tenderhearted person and it makes me think of my amazing sister everyday!  I love you both!
