Garfield has always held a special place in my heart, especially the Garfield Christmas special. I'm very close with my family despite past tensions I've had with them, and I feel as though that episode dives deep into how the more things change, the more things stay the same if that makes any sense.
My great grandfather passed away many, many years ago, though my great grandmother is still alive and kicking at age 99. We've never really talked much, but when I mentioned what I was doing in life she had me sit down with her and look over all of the letters, photos, and journal entries my great grandfather had written and taken throughout world war two. She told me a few unwritten stories about their life together and how things have changed since he passed.
I've never been a very emotional person, but there's this scene in the Garfield Christmas special where Grandma Arbuckle sits reminiscing over her time with her husband and briefly shares with Garfield what he was like and how she feels on Christmas now that he's gone. It always makes me tear up, so I try to avoid watching it with other people.
