One of my Dad’s defining characteristics was his sense of humour. He was a master teaser. This caused him to bring a smile from even the most recalcitrant child. He could find the humour, albeit sometimes dark, in almost any situation. I was lucky enough to inherit just a bit of his knack for wit.
We talk with Norah a lot about her Grandpa Paul. She often asks where he is, and we tell her he is gone, but that he still loves her, and he is in her heart. A few times she has poked at her chest, where her heart is, and said, “I want my Grandpa Paul come out now!”
Dad would appreciate that. Today, Norah told me, “My Grandpa Paul was funny, and I’m funny, too!” I can’t think of a finer gift for Norah from Grandpa.
