Every year I see this shit and without fail, I chuckle every time for the past 15 years.
It’s about his dad dying, fwiw.
To most of us it's about the time passing and the innocent never lasting (which I always assumed is a similar idea to "why do the good people always go first".).
That being said, if we stop joking about serious matters and just take everything seriously - whether it's intended like that or not - we're fucked.
Would you like someone making jokes about your parents dying?
No, I'd much rather someone completely misconstrued what I said, missed the point entirely and tried to take all the fun out of yet another array of jokes.
