My parents showed us little kids this movie a long time ago 🍿 🎥 Mama had made her chicken curry casserole and they told us to stop eating and put our plates aside for the mushroom soup 🍲 scene 😅.

The main character reminds me so much of my Papa with being a clown and not taking things you should take a serious and taking other things that shouldn't be serious as serious. The competitive side to him and the sore loser and the violence and anger outbursts. And yet you do like the guy as well. Very much like my Pop. RIP. We forgave him everything at the end of his life and we had four glorious years with him getting to know him finally as a father who told me he loved me before he died. I was the only one.

Mama said he never told her he loved her but they had a passionate love affair and she was never the same after he died. It was literally like a big part of her was completely gone. She just went flying to see him last summer 🌞. I will miss her even more than I did Papa 💝 But we'll all meet again in heaven. I believe that with all my heart ❤️🙏🏻😊
