Guest guest Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 So glad you shared this. My mom has always had a great sense of humor and sometimes it's all that shines through. This sounded like banter between us. When not much seems humorous she'll say something that sets us both off laughing - moments to cherish.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2004 Report Share Posted March 5, 2004 Hi, Coyote, I laughed my rear off when I read your post about your dad! He is so funny! I am so glad y'all had a good day. It is one to cherish. Maybe your dad has the seasonal thing like my dad does. Things seem to get better as the weather improves. I know someday that will stop, but I am sure going to enjoy it while it still happens. Here's to as many good days as we can get! Big hugs, Piper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 5, 2004 Report Share Posted March 5, 2004 Oh Coyote, I am so happy for you that you had a wonderful afternoon with your parents. My mom hardly ever laughs. We must cherish these moments and file them away for the times when things aren't so good. The trouble is that when we have a good time, when we let our guard down, we we start to think everything will be okay for awhile, the bastard beast brings us back to reality. Don't let it win, by focusing on the one moment your dad forgot the house. Instead continue to do what you did today, laugh and enjoy the times that are good and let the " bad " moments drain away like " sh-t through a goose's ass " .
