The Silent Laughter

I always knew of Uncle Rocco, my Grandma Teresa's brother, and know that when I was small he visited our family.

We did not see him too much, but knew he was always there.

When she passed away in 1994, he came with his family and we all gathered after the Church services and ate in a restaurant.

I remember as we all told stories and shared experiences, we were able to laugh together.

What struck me as so sweet and so unique was that whenever Uncle Rocco laughed, no sound came out.

He was smling and his body was moving up and down, but his laughter was silent.  I found this to be so touching and endearing.

I will never forget that he brought such a happiness to me at such a sad time.
