Last night I sat in bed with my iPad, poking through reddit, and found a thread in Ask Reddit that showed a lot of promise for humor and insight. The question asked: Reddit, what's a quote that makes you feel both happy and sad a the same time?
There were some song lyrics that surprised me; pop tunes that are catchy as hell, but when taken out of the melody behind it are actually quite sad. Quotes from South Park that are funny but fairly deep. Lines from major literary works, some well known, some obscure.
And then there was this, a quote someone pasted from another reddit thread.

Happy and sad.
Holy shit.

My brother died from that same horror. I don't remember him much outside a wheel chair or even walking. But his dream was to be a spaceman, and we religiously watched all the sci fi movies, tv shows etc and he drew himself in panoramas of those shows. To this day I believe he has the best in the sky, looking at all the stars and comets with no pollution in between. But I still save him a spot on the couch or in the theatre. Bruce the spaceman. Best tripper ever.
Rocketman :)
Wow. What a gift he gave his brother.
@Jan- I often go to the movies with my sister, who passed in 2001, I always blame her for hogging the popcorn. Our siblings see us.
That is very inspiring. Having known a boy that had that when we were kids, brings sad remembered tears of Little Ben Little. He made it to High school. I never remember him not in a wheel chair. this gives me a picture of him running, too!
