[Picture are and image of Sherlock Holmes and Joan Watson from the TV show "Elementary" and an image of Will Graham and Hannibal Lecter from the TV show "Hannibal". Joan Watson is a woman with long dark hair and lightly-tanned pale skin. She is wearing a light long-sleeved shirt with a dark sweater over it. She is standing behind Sherlock, who is sitting on an arm-chair and has very short dark hair, a slight beard and mustache, lightly tanned pale skin and is wearing a dark coat, dark pants and a red and black scarf. Will Graham has short curly dark hair, pale skin, blue eyes and a very slight beard and mustache. He is wearing a red, white and blue tartan shirt with a gray suit coat over it. Hannibal is standing behind him. He has pale skin, short dark hair combed back and is wearing a bright blue shirt, a tie with a paisley design over it and a dark blue suit coat.]

I watch these shows and love them, but they also bring me a lot of pain. My mom passed away almost two years ago, and I know she would have loved them, too, and sometimes I get choked up in the middle of an episode thinking about what my mom would have to say about a scene or an actor. The strange thign is that these feelings of missing her are strongest when I watch TV, much stronger than when I see a mother and daughter out at a restaurant or shopping together or other moments like you'd expect. I'm afraid this is shallow and "crazy fangirl" of me.

My mom was great about letting me gush about my favorite shows and watching them with me. I moved in with her when she was first diagnosed with cancer in 2005/2006, and she watched the second and third seasons of Supernatural with me and let me read meta blog posts to her while she was getting chemo and when she was too tired to get out of bed. (By the way, she was a Dean girl and remembered Jensen Ackles when he was on Days of Our Lives -which she watched for about 30 years-).

So I watch Elementary and Hannibal and imagine the conversations I would have with her about how awesome Joan is or what kind of restorative (and vegetarian) stew we would feed to Will.

And then I cry.
