It may be a coping mechanism, but I think the human brain is so capable of remembering stories in a more positive light. Sometimes we choose to be optimists in our memories and don’t even realize it.
What I have come to realize, is that when others are telling a story and there are suddenly more people, there is more laughter, there is more pizza, It means they are sharing their own whimsy with you and coming to terms with how they lived a great life. My hope for everybody I know is that they realize this creative beauty that we often forget as we age. Let those who love you share the incredible stories in the tall tales.
