So I’ve been watching this show Parenthood. It’s everything I want my family to be- with loving and supportive siblings, who sometimes fight but in the end spend their time laughing and applauding their youngest nephew at his baseball game, or sitting around at the largest everyday table imaginable. With the successful brother, another in jail and a well to do sister, it’s pretty much like my family, with of course one small difference, there’s another brother thrown into the bunch. It’s what I want my family to be- this uberly sappy network drama profiling the lives of equally important cast members. Unfortunately my mom won’t have a role since grandmas not really talked about, but guess what, someday she will be a grandma with all her kids sitting around that awesome table, with her three kids, all together.

And maybe that’s all this whole mess is really about- just being there for each other and planning those moments. Yes, there will be MUCH more planning than living those moments in the process, but I’m hopeful that we’ll all make it to that day as one big ol’ happy stereotypically messed up family, with probably a bit more drama and suspense thrown in.

I wish I didn’t have a story to tell.
