My dad's name was Richard and he went by Dick... Loved it and relished it... Completely.
His favorite joke = He would say he was the only Dick in the office and then look at you with that naughty twinkle in his eye and snort laugh so so inappropriately.... Lol... It was a different time!! I can't help but giggle thinking about those little moments.
Thank you for the flashback. November is a hard month for me when it comes to remembering him so I greatly appreciate being made to smile instead of being made to cry.
Richard is my middle name and my family called me “Dickie” to differentiate from my dad and great grandpa. At school I decided to go with my first name to avoid the mean-spirited jokes. Now I can probably enjoy your father’s humorous approach. Glad I could help you smile. It is a sign of healing when we can reminisce about the happiness and focus less on loss. 🙏
