I watch those while I'm cleaning the house on Saturdays and it lightens my whole day and makes me laugh. <br /><br />Thanks for checking in w/ us.

I hope you feel a little less sad every day. I know how this hurts, at least a little. Thank you for reposting your tribute, I know also how raw and exposed you feel at times, but a loving tribute is nothing to hide, especially one as elegant as yours, about someone as lovely as your mother.<br /><br />Binge watching is a good idea for now. Do what makes sense. If you can watch Rectify, you might enjoy it. It is the most quiet, riveting and engaging thing I have ever watched. For some lighter science fare, try Orphan Black, the acting alone is fantastic. I am finding a great deal of enjoyment in post-apocalyptic genres, and I realize they are not for everyone, but they make so much sense to me on a warped level I can't even describe- I won't recommend the zombie stuff, but 12 Monkeys is wonderful, with minimal gore. Sherlock is wonderful too. I watched the end of Sons of Anarchy with my husband and it was riveting, but seriously shocking and violent.<br /><br />TV and movies are a great distraction. I find myself still drawn to the things my dad loved best for entertainment - nature shows, movies, especially war movies and books, books, books, and most of all, a stroll outdoors. Feeding the birds can feel like a sacrament somedays, and I'm sure there are a hundred ways for you to remember and honor your mother that will make you feel less alone and more loving and loved, and they will comfort you too. xoMelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10114884092474969555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-65410234610428327612015-03-22T12:05:55.093-04:002015-03-22T12:05:55.093-04:00Such a stunning post.

There's a shorter one called "Last Tango in Halifax" about an older couple that's wonderful. There's also that old series by Armistead Maupin whose name has slipped my mind -- worth a revisit, maybe?Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03313726816776097840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-14327655385112737152015-03-22T11:03:27.650-04:002015-03-22T11:03:27.650-04:00yes i would recommend sons of anarchy and luther t...yes i would recommend sons of anarchy and luther too. also sherlock, the killing, weeds...<br />these days when my brain is over full it's sons of anarchy and walking dead and knitting...<br /><br />xomichellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09861251743062824891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-6409839363704616802015-03-21T21:49:07.757-04:002015-03-21T21:49:07.757-04:00Thanks for stopping by today.Thanks for stopping by today.ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11376645220662546020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-15303389688082944032015-03-21T21:48:19.235-04:002015-03-21T21:48:19.235-04:00Do we even have a word in English that compares to...Do we even have a word in English that compares to Saudade?
