We've all got our fave TV sitcoms and dramas. I mean, TV will always bring people together (apart from food, that is). I grew up watching The Fresh Prince of Bel Air; my darling hubby remembered watching the talented Robin Williams from Mork and Mindy.
And if you're like me, I'm sure you had many a good laughs with Rachel, Monica, Ross, Chandler, Joey and Phoebe from Friends.
Well, 2 nights ago, another of my fave TV drama came to a tearful end. Parenthood drew its curtains close after 6 wonderful seasons of laughter, joy and tears.
I've followed Parenthood since its premiere in March 2010. I remember watching it on quiet afternoons while rubbing my pregnant belly. I had wondered then what parenthood might have in store for me once Baby O'Bayley has joined us.
Boy … A LOT! :D:D:D
The cast was great and I enjoyed watching the chemistry between each of them but the one who caught my attention was the character Max Braverman. Max and his parents discovered that he has Asperger syndrome and it was just … gripping watching the character unfold on telly as the actor, Max Burkholder, had portrayed it so convincingly.
I enjoyed the series because it felt so real, y'know - the ups and downs of any family. Whether its fights amongst siblings or arguments between spouses, interracial relationships (uh-huh!), cancer and autism, or running your own business, the stories Team Braverman portray were everyday issues that happen in real life.
And I love how they tackled it together and make things work, even though there were some scary twists and "OMG Julia, what did you dooooo???" moments.
There were lots of memorable lines in the series but if I could pick out one, it would be this:
The patriarch, Zeek Braverman, had a conversation with Hank Rizzoli about Sarah. Zeek said "No one has taught me more about unconditional love. She gives her heart to the people she cares about most. I would just ask you to take care of my daughter. You gotta be there for her."
And Hank replied "It would be my honor to do that. I never met anyone like her. I'll never stop loving her."
Yeah, I have shed a lot of tears with the Braverman family. I have never missed an episode and boy … my Thursday evenings are going to be lonesome now.
And I'm defo going to miss their opening credits. I love that song; its like a beautiful prayer for all of us:
So thank you, Jason Katims & crew. That was a beautiful series and one worth watching. :D #ParenthoodFarewell
And to you, my dear reader, "May God bless and keep you always" and have a wonderful Superbowl weekend!

"How you doingggg?"

May god bless and keep you always
May your wishes all come true
May you always do for others
And let others do for you
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung
May you stay, forever young
Forever Young
Forever Young
May you stay forever young
May you grow up to be righteous
May you grow up to be true
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you
May you always be courageous
Stand upright and be strong
And may you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young
May your hands always be busy
May your feet always be swift
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift
May your heart always be joyful
May your song always be sung
And may you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young
~ Bob Dylan's Forever Young
