We moved her to a private room so her daughters could stay with her, and she had a wonderful sense of humor.

I went into her room one evening and one of her daughters was there. I asked her how she was feeling and she says in this exasperated voice, "I'm dead!"

Sweetly and kindly I reply........










"You're not dead yet!"










Silence. It was so loud and lasted so long.


Now what do I say? Think, Joy, think.


"Do you know how I know?"

"Tell me."

"Because this ain't heaven, honey."

She laughed and said, "You got that right!"

Her daughter was laughing too, and I was off the hook.


I cannot believe I said that...LOL!

hey at least you got them laughing
better than making them cry.
