Of Death and Benedict*

* Title from blog entry of Hunglish Girl.

I recently came across a blog entry about having a crush on Benedict Cumberbatch on Facebook. This woman wrote about having a crush while being older. I liked her perspective and read more of her entries.

Then I came across "Of Death and Benedict. Which made sense to me since I, too, have lost people in my life. Most recently my maternal grandfather. Then I heard my maternal grandmother's sister was admitted to the ICU. This morning, she died. I usually take control of my feelings, until I see the body. That's when it hits me. I'm never going to see that person ever again. I was very young when my paternal grandfather died. I do remember my uncle, paternal grandmother and maternal grandfather.

As soon as I saw the body of my grandfather or my grand aunt, tears just filled my eyes immediately. Why them? Why now? Doesn't the universe know that they are needed.

HIMYM

I was very impressed with the ending of the show How I Met Your Mother. Everybody is so mad at the creators for the finale.

*Spoilers*

The mother's death: poeple die in our lives. It's a part of life and nature. If we examine our own lives, we will find relatives who have died. Eventually everybody dies, so the mother dying is just another aspect of life.

Robin and Barney's divorce: Did that one really surprise anybody? Considering 2 out of 3 marriages end in divorce in the US alone. I mean Ross from Friends was divorced three times for god sakes.

The mother's limted time: Ted's whole point was to show his kids how much and how far he had to go in order to meet the mother. And now since she has been gone for six years, it's time to move on. He has always been in love with Robin. He wanted his children's' permission to date Robin since they both are the most important people in his life.

So that's why I liked the finale of How I Met Your Mother.
