Yes, my dad had a bizarre sense of humor…I suppose I’ve acquired it. :-) While we were at the visitation, some people were talking about things they remembered about my dad. Edward looked at me and said “oh my gosh, I’ve married my father-in-law”….LOL Yep, I’m much like my father! :-) Love and hugs to you sweet friend!
