Dad gets me at the end 😂

What’s so striking is the way he’s leaning slightly forward, eyes wide, as if he’s in the middle of delivering the punchline or reacting to something unexpected. That’s Dad—always ready to surprise, always ready to make his presence felt, even in the simplest exchanges. For years, he’s had this ability to “get” us at just the right moment, whether with a one-liner, a sly grin, or a perfectly timed comment. Now, seeing him do it at this stage in life feels even more special, because it proves that age doesn’t erase character—it magnifies it.
When you’ve lived nearly a century, you’ve earned the right to speak your mind in whatever way you choose, and Dad takes full advantage of that. Sometimes it’s with humor, other times with wisdom, and often, it’s with a mix of both. In this snapshot, it’s all humor—his playful side reminding us not to take everything too seriously. Laughter, after all, has always been his secret medicine, and last night, it was ours too.
It’s easy to get lost in the daily worries about his health, his strength, and his recovery, but moments like these bring balance. They remind me that he’s not just surviving—he’s still living. That little spark, that mischievous glint in his words and expressions, gives us all a lift. It turns an ordinary evening into a memory worth holding onto.
Looking back at this picture, I feel grateful. Grateful that at this stage in his journey, he still has the power to surprise us, to make us laugh, and to remind us who he has always been. My Dad, the storyteller, the teaser, the one who gets me—especially at the end. 😂❤️
