Zoe: Light at the end of the tunnel

Sonny is online, playing on his PS3 with his chums. He's wearing a headset and chatting non-stop to his friends. I can't believe how excited, loud and bossy he's being. I'm worrying about the deep scars that enforced isolation have left on him and the maze of possible physcological side effects of all he's been through... and then it hits me. This is Sonny being himself. I haven't heard him being like this for such a long time and I've actually forgotten how he behaves when he's having a really good time. In all the nightmare of diagnosis and treatment our boy continues to shine through.
