So, my step grandma has been in my life since 'forever' to
me. (Becoming my step grandma in my late
teens.) Her first husband passed away
early enough that I have memories of them being together, but no memories of
what he looked like. During one of our
visits, I asked her what he was like.
She said: "Oh, he was a lot
like your father. Always ready with a
laugh."
I couldn't have picked that out, because it was what I'd
always known. So, at that point, I started watching for it. It was true!
Even before the punchline, you can see that he knows it is coming and
that he has a laugh ready to go right behind his eyes.
Then I started watching for this in my own community of
peeps. It is less common than one might
think - and it is really nice to be around.
I guess that makes me grateful to have been
around such a great sense of humour since day one. :)
