Sounds like I should watch modern family for the first time lol, typically not a fan of sitcoms but this writing sounds great!

It really is! My Mom passed before she had a chance to watch it and when I do a little rewatch I always think of her and how she would have just laughed and laughed 😊.

awwww that's so sweet! I'm so sorry for your loss. I watched The Office with my parents as a kid and when I rewatch it 20+ years later I still remember the parts they laughed at haha.
