Found this beautiful series three weeks after my mother and best friend passed away. I wish I would have known about it beforehand, she would have loved it. We watched A LOT of TV in recent years of her bedridden illness. We lived together MOST of my life and I'm pushing 50. This show and the ENTIRE CAST keeps me going when I'm at my lowest. When I miss my mom, I watch the show to strengthen me. I have fallen in love with each and every family and cast member and wish everyone in the show the very best life has to offer. To all of them, stay strong and thank you for helping ME - by showing me your ups and downs, your struggles and strengths... you saved me. I'd love to see this series on for at least another three to five years. I'm not quite sure you understand just HOW many hearts this show and its' cast has touched. Just how many lives YOU ALL are saving by having been a part of the show. To the crew and fellow filmmaker/producers - Thank you for your hard work on this show. One can clearly see the love you all put into it. God Bless.
