That was good, and adding a little laughter to threads never hurts, it allows to get "away" for a few minutes, a fun distraction.
Since my dad has passed on, it is his words of wisdom and his little spats (not heavy duty) that make me laugh during the days when I am in need of a spiritual or emotional "pick me up", doesn't make the pain go away but a little distraction or excursion is always a boost.
Some of his funny but negative remarks I can't share them all, but when my brothers and I were kids he use to say (when he would get annoyed with us) was, "what am I raising, 3 morons?".
Do you know a couple of years before he died he apologized to us for saying things that sunk our self esteem, at that point, I said to him, "daddy, that is in the past, no parent is perfect". I felt badly for him, cause as he said that he was crying, then he thanked me.
How could one not forgive a parent that really loved us, would do anything for us, worked 40 years in a sweat shop, and I mean "sweat shop", never went out, was always home right after work, he made sure the 3 of us had good food, clothes and people from my generation can relate to this, "good shoes", Like I said we can't be perfect all the time nor can we be always careful. Maybe my reply is not appropiate to some, but I am having a day of needing to talk as I recollect on times, good, bad and funny.
As time goes by I try to make myself take time to laugh by thinking of funny things, even sarcastic humour, even if I am laughing while alone.
Enjoy your day
