Back in 2006, when my baby brother was 15, he almost died of a virus or infection. He lay in a coma for 5 days.
As he had been making computer games for a couple of years, by then, and doctors never discovered what had caused the insane fever leading up to all this, we, as a family, used to joke that he had attracted a computer virus.
It's now 16 and a half years later, he's alive and kicking and still making computer games,
every now and then and pretty successfully, if I may say so.
I am blooming glad he made it and is successful to boot! That would have been a worrying time. Its a good joke though, the kind you can laugh about now!
We probably already laughed about it, a little, back then. That's how our family deals with traumatic events.
The funeral home people didn't know what they saw, when they arrived, just after my dad's passing, last September. We kept cracking jokes, just the way our dad would have liked it. It took them some time to adapt to it and then they enjoyed it ;>)

We laughed too to get through things. We were a very jokey family. I like to think I will carry on that tradition with my little uns
It's the best of traditions :<)
And it works. Mostly!
