"Thanksgiving"

I planned to watch Boston Legal with someone who enjoyed it as much as I do.
We laughed hysterically and we hugged along and it was the best memory I have.
Then I realized I shouldn't wait anymore because it is not going to happen.

I was in tears watching the episode of "Thanksgiving" in Boston Legal.
Imagine having thanksgiving dinner with a group of "dysfunctional" people.
It makes me wonder.
Many people around of us, our colleagues, our friends, our closed ones, every one of us has certain dysfunctional behaviour one way or another.

It was said in marriage, we have to bear and forbear.
Then, I believe in every relationship, we have to learn to bear and forbear.
Alan bear with Denny's nonsense all the time not just because he knew Denny is losing memory but because he really love Denny as a dear friend. Alan constantly tells Denny that he is not slipping and he will always be there for him. But deep down, Alan knew Denny's condition has worsen.

We laugh, fight, quarrel and laugh again, love again, fight again.
Is a cycle we go through in life.

Thanksgiving is nothing but just be grateful that you still have that somebody you can get angry with, love with and fight with and get angry again, love again and fight again.

Thanksgiving is also to be thankful that we still have our memory.
"Memory is a way on holding on to things you love, the things you are, the things you never want to lose"

I wish I was not alone watching this episode of Boston Legal, feeling so sad and cry like a baby.
