my dream

One of my favorite TV shows is "Friday Night Lights". My friend Bret discovered his love for FNL and then decided it was something I need to love as well. It took several months, but I finally watched my first episode and fell in love instantly.

It's just one of those shows that makes you feel good. It can make you like a once "bad" character that at first you hated. It's just plain good and if you haven't watched it, you definitely should.

I was re-watching season 4 the other day and there was this one scene where Tammy Taylor (the wife of head football coach, Eric Taylor) was talking to her daughter Julie about deciding which college she should go to because Julie was trying to make her mom's dream come true and this is what she told her:

"You're my dream, baby. I got what I wanted. I got it all, and now it's your job to dream up whatever you want and I will support you to the ends of the earth to do that."

I had watched that same scene before but this time, it had me in tears. Years ago, my dream would not have been to be at mom at 23 but now, it is my dream. I love it and those words spoken from a fictional mom on TV describe what I feel for MG.

And that is one of the many reasons why I love Friday Night Lights.

Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can't Lose.
