It wasn’t any of our ideas being in a hospital room on New Years Eve but what can you do.

I was visiting my dad as he hasn’t been well and as we were chatting the doctor popped in with the nurse as he was doing his rounds.

He picked up dad’s chart and had a discussion with my mum about the medicines dad was being prescribed.

He moved from us to the man in the next cubicle and my dad leaned over and whispered to me and gestured his head in the direction of the doctor.

“I wonder where did he get his pink trousers from?” and he started chuckling

That’s my dad for you – always a joke to lighten darker moments and it’s something we have got used to down through the years with him.

When the nurses come to check on him he jokes with them “You take any excuse to see me”, he tells them “I’m outstanding in my own field” and he’ll even recite that verse from his favorite song ‘Sixteen Tonnes’ : “If you see me coming you better step aside”

And his classic “The only problem with hospitals is that they are full of sick people”

On exceptional occasions a dance might even be suggested “I’m a great dancer, you know”!!

In his own special way he has taught all of us about the special role of using humour at times to lighten serious situations.

He is so right …

Thanks Pops, our very own comic legend!
