Humor Me
At Stanley’s funeral his daughter handed me a card. I took
it out of the envelope and looked at her.
“A thank you note?” I asked. It seemed like an odd thing for
Stanley to write.
She rolled her eyes, and said, “Read it.”
I read it aloud. “Thank you for consoling your wife for me
after I’m gone. Now all she can do is
dream of what might have been between us.”
I laughed and wiped away a tear. Stanley’s daughter smiled
at me.
“He was always joking
about my wife having a secret crush on him,” I explained.
“I will never understand what you old guys think is funny, but
I’m glad somebody got his sense of humor.”
“I’m glad he held he held onto it until the end, no matter
what life threw at him,” I said, thinking I hope I do the same.
Today I will hold onto my sense of humor.
