Day 5: "This is us" *spoiler alert* My mama recommend me to watch the series "This is us". She said that the family of the series reminds her of ours, specially the dad. As I'm pretty sentimental about everything related to my father I didn't wanted to give it a try. The idea of watching someone who is like my dad and who also passes away didn't see to be good for me at all. My mama loves to watch movies and series too, so we have been watching something together every day before going to bed. Two days ago when I went to her room she was watching something already and I didn't ask her what it was, I just simple joined her. When she started to cry I understood that we had been watching "This is us" because nothing sad was happening on the series at that moment. My mom was right: the series family was like us. I was wrong: it was good for me to see it, it was cathartic. When the daughter wanted to wear her dad's t-shirt for her wedding even though it had happened 20 years since her dad passed away, I saw myself on her. Next year will be my dad's 10th death anniversary and I'm still wearing his clothes, specially his now old jacket and it seems like I'll be doing it forever. There's a quote from the Uruguayan writer Mario Benedetti that summarizes my vision of time. It is this: “Five minutes are enough to dream a whole life, that is how relative time is.”

Day 5: "This is us" *spoiler alert*

My mother recommend me to watch the series "This is us". She said that the family from the series reminds her of ours, especially the father. As I'm pretty sentimental about everything related to my dad, I didn't wanted to give it a try because the idea of watching someone who is like my dad and who also passed away didn't seem to be good to me at all.

Because my mother loves to watch movies and series too, so we have been watching something together every day before going to bed. Two days ago when I went to her room, she was already watching something already and I didn't ask her what it was. I just simply joined her. When she started to cry I understood that we were watching "This is us" because nothing sad was happening in the series at that moment.

My mom was right. The family in the series family was like us. I was wrong. iIt was good for me to see it, it was cathartic. No entiendo lo que quieres decir aquí When the daughter wanted to wear her dad's t-shirt for her wedding even though it had happened 20 years since her dad passed away, I saw myself in her. Next year will be my dad's 10th year death anniversary and I'm still wearing his clothes. Especially his now old jacket and it seems like I'll be doing it forever.

There's a quote from the Uruguayan writer Mario Benedetti that summarizes my vision of time. It is this: “Five minutes are enough to dream a whole life, that is how relative time is.”

Even though Cathartic is a great word I would suggest replacing it with "an oddly reassuring experience"
