Here's the mom joke I sent Daniel today: A photon arrives at the airport. When the person working the desk asks if he has any bags to check he replies: "I don't have any, I'm traveling light!"
Daniel's response: LOL A mom joke PLUS a Physics joke? Hilarious!
The part he doesn't know is that I'm stealing these from Kevin. Kevin sends these silly groan jokes to his kids called Dad jokes. I thought I should adapt them to mom jokes and send them to Daniel. He is loving them. If you hear any "groaners" please let me know because I'm already used up. I'll have to search the internet.
Daniel has the best attitude ever. He still goes through periods of intense pain and does ask for pain meds but man, he endures a lot. His esophagus and his intestines are basically collapsing. The muscles are just not working well enough to help him digest his food. Some days they work well and he is not in much pain, other days they play hell within him and give him excruciating pain. Hospice taught me yesterday how to load a needle into a sub q IV and then inject into his arm to calm him, if his pain is really severe I can then inject as much meds as needed to quite the pain, it may quite more than the pain.
Not sure I'm ready for this but Daniel is at peace with all of this, he has made his peace with death and lives one day at a time. Talk about a Bodhisattva in our midst. He is here to enlighten all of us about love and truly being present every single day. He has been my teacher for years.
Thank you for reading.

Daniel is an intelligent gift to the world. His sense of humor has always amazed and amused me. It is my honor to be his friend.

- How do you know when a joke becomes a dad joke?
ReplyDelete- When it becomes apparent.
(Damien's been amassing a horde of dad jokes his whole life, turns out he was born for this gig).
LOVE IT, Damien, keep 'em coming. I will be seeing you three today with emergency crochet kit in hand. Text you later.
