Friends I haven't seen in 50 years. Laughter is the key to relieving stress!

Friends in the midst of caregiving came to visit. The topic at hand was none other than cognitive function. Despite each of them going through tough times, they shared hilarious anecdotes that had us bursting with laughter.
We gathered around the kotatsu, warming ourselves, eating well, talking animatedly, and laughing heartily, as if time had slipped back to our high school days 50 years ago. Even though time has passed and we have accumulated various experiences, our essence remains unchanged from the past.
Age truly doesn't matter. We are still ourselves. Back then, we used to laugh uproariously, and that afternoon was no different. We laughed just as much as we used to.
