My big fat greek wedding

So I recently found out that there is going to be a My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 and it makes me happy. For your convenience:

When the first one came out, I couldn't believe how much it was like my family. My Nona was still alive and it was something we all quite enjoyed when my father and I watched it together. We asked Nona to say Bundt cake and she said "Butt cake?" And it was hilarious!

If you seen the movie you know her father asked her when she was going to get married and told her she was starting to get old at about 15. I had something like that once with my father, although not as extreme. At age 20 I hadn't had a boyfriend in a very long time and one day when we were on our way to my hockey game that Sunday my dad asked me "Rina, when are you going to get a boyfriend?" and it was so like that movie I couldn't help but make fun of him.

    I worked at the movie theatre in Thousand Oaks when that movie was released. I have seen it so many times! It was always nice to watch such a large family get together for a happy occasion ... and then drive each other crazy! LoL

It took me a while to realize later that one of the throw pillows on my couch wasn't actually supposed to be there and didn't match the rest. My dad left me his butt pillow.

The Day to Day Sad Blessings

I think about my dad all the time. Donovan sees a picture of him on his wall everyday and can point out his Papoo. I have a voicemail from my dad on my phone that we listened to this morning. Donovan misses him too, but his complete innocence of the understanding of the situation is a sad happiness. He'll always know who is Papoo was and what his voice even sounds like thanks to technology and me not keeping up to date on deleting my voicemails. Sad blessings. It is still hard to be thankful for these little things on the day to day when there is still the overwhelming sadness and longing to hold my Daddy. Things I will be so glad for later. Anytime anything interesting happens in my life, I want to call him. And then there is the twinge of sadness that comes right after with the realization that I can't. Everything that I like in my life, almost coincides with things I did with my dad. Battlestar Galactica, Star Trek, Star Wars, Hockey, Reading. It's all things that re
