Goodbye "Branch"

When I first brought Lucy home from the hospital, I would find myself just watching TV in the bonus room as I fed her multiple times a day.  Seems like I would run into a Golden Girls mini-marathon more often than not.  I guess with all the adjustments I was going through learning to be okay just being home all day and taking care of an active 3-year old and keeping a newborn happy, the laughs and mayhem on Golden Girls was just what my brain needed!  

Little did I know Katelyn was picking up little bits and pieces from the show...not really understanding the storylines but she just thought it was funny that these 4 ladies lived together and seemed to be always laughing about something.  She cracked me up when one day she told my mom she liked the Golden Girls and "Branch" was her favorite!  I had to endure that look from my mom that said, "You're letting her watch the Golden Girls??!"  My response, "I don't know which end is up these days so if she catches a few minutes of the Golden Girls but she still gets 3 square meals and got dressed today then I consider that a victory!"  After all, I was in a state of sleeplessness and my hormones hadn't quite landed back in their normal places.  

So today we said goodbye to "Branch."  Katelyn doesn't know what happened to her but she did notice they talked about her on the evening news.  After the 1-minute segment, she turned to me and said, "Mommy, I was a big fan of Branch!"  Haha...me too, Katelyn, me too!
