Character: Issac

Location: Braille Institue of America. LA California

Phrase: Laugh? Laugh

Gift: His gift to me was the trip to the braille institue...my gift to him, braille lessons for the both of us

Description: I had always been an avid reader and with Issacs complete loss of sight I knew we couldnt enjoy reading to one another unless he was actually able to read with me. When he finally suggested he was ready to learn braille I couldnt help but get excited. Then he springs on me that not only is he willing to learn but that there was a braille institue in Los Angeles and we were going to go. I couldnt believe my ears, I had been so worried that we would lose out on the precious time we spent together just the two of us reading that I broke down in tears then and there. I was so excited that I called the institue and arranged for us to have lessons in reading braille together that w could start at the institue and finish back at home.

The day of our trip to the institue finally arrived and I was hoping beyond hope that it would all go down perfect. Of course if wishes were horses we'd all be cowboys. It started pouring rain just before we got there and by the time we made it in the building we were both dripping puddles of water soaked people. Then on top of that the instructor I had lined up to teach us wasnt available because he had been called away on a family emergency. Standing there drenched and knowing we wouldnt be able to learn what we had come to learn, I couldnt help it, I just laughed. Why are you laughing? Issac asked. "I cant help it. Here we are drenched and without our instuctor after we came all this way, I dont want to be mad or upset and ruin our time so what else is there but to laugh." I said. Really there wasnt anything funny but he broke out laughing with me. "I guess laughter is the best medicine" Issac replied through his giggles. "I laugh you" I told him. "I laugh you too" He said.
