The moment I saw this quote, is the moment that I knew I had to share it with you.  Humor is all around us even during tough times.  I’ll never forget a professor in my death and dying course when I attained my Master’s Degree in Guidance and Counseling.  He told us that we need humor especially when life gets in the way.  I thought he was off base at the time.  I now know the importance of his statement once I’ve experienced loss in my life.

I had a very warm and sweet father with a huge smile.  The only time he got mad at me was when I dyed my hair when I was 12 and it accidentally turned orange.  He pounded his hands on the ping pong table in my home in Oak Park MI and said, “Joyce, Why?  Why?” My mother and sister heard his loud words coming through the walls upstairs.  I told this story during his eulogy because I wanted to share this memory with our family and friends.  This story brought smiles to everyone listening.  That was the plan! 🙂

‘We honored the memory of Joseph Morris that day.  I even wore red.  Who wears red to a funeral?  This was my father’s favorite color.
