Hi, Dad -
Remember all those years ago how we all laughed when you sneezed really hard and threw your back out? You were in a lot of pain and all we did was think it was ridiculous that something as silly as a good sneeze caused all that trouble?
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that if I knew just how easy it was to have a sneeze throw out your back, I might not have laughed at your misfortune.
Sorry, and I love you very much.

Dearest Daughter - I hope sincerely that your post today doesn't mean that you are having back problems. Not much can be as annoying, painful or as hard to work around as chronic back pain. So, if you are having troubles with your back, my deepest sympathy. But don't think I have forgotten the laughter that rained down as I suffered!!!! Lots of love, and remember: don't sneeze!Dad
Another event we laughed at a whole lot was the infamous Father's Day Milk Fiasco... I seem to remember laughing a lot that day!!!

Laughter is a great gift! It is HEALTHY! Sometimes it occurs in place of hysteria. I love the sound of laughter in a home. I remember GREAT laughter over the exercise competition between P & M!!! Fortunately, M was able laugh also. We are also fortunate to have had much laughter that we can continue to remember with laughter. I think the JOYS have far outweighed the not so joyful times. plm
Not only was Dad in a lot of pain that time, He also crammed himself into the Chevy Cavalier (remember the little yellow "mid-life crisis" car?) with me and drove us to Cooperstown, New York for a weekend.
I remember, Dad needed a rest and we chilled in the motel room watching tv for a bit. We were watching the game show Scrabble (with Chuck Woolery) and one of the contestants was introducing herself and she mentioned that she plays the Nose Flute. Chuck asked if she had it with her and she did and whipped it out shoved one end into her nostril, pinched the other nostril shut and played a little tune.
As if that wasn't enough to get Dad and myself hysterical with laughter, this woman whips out another nose flute, shoves it in her other nostril and plays the same tune again, but this time with harmony.
I don't know if she won the show that day or not.
Anyways, dad has done a LOT for the family through a lot of pain over the years. Thanks Dad!!
