My parents recently celebrated their 45th wedding anniversary!

As I was inquiring about how long it “felt,” I was struck by the fact it was literally longer than a lifetime for my two brothers and me.  I was asking dad about his “advice” and he recounted that in those 45 years that mom “never forget anything.”  Mom laughed out loud.  That’s LOL for the texting generation.

What I did NOT get were the clichés of never going to bed angry, that they just grew apart, or that us moving out(the kids) left them with nothing in common.  So what did I takeaway from that?  Keep a sense of humor.  It was a big part of my life growing up.  Laughing at yourself and others, primarily others. The cliché that did work and that is still working “laughter is the best medicine.”
