Laughter Makes the Tough Times Tolerable

My parents taught me to laugh — even if not appropriate

If Dad (grandpa) was near, we laughed. Image of Dad dancing with granddaughter ,Kat, at her wedding.

As my parents aged, stories of their experiences growing older ended with a punchline; laughter made the tough times tolerable.

They would say, “You know you are getting old when you leave more on the nightstand than you take to bed.”
