Full House ran for all the years I was in high school through my university years. I used to watch it every week. I remember clearly being on vacation at my grandmother in Cape Town, I was twenty at the time, and the theme song came on. My grandmother came through from the kitchen, and sat down to watch it. She loved Michelle!

So I couldn’t resist watching the new release Fuller House, even for old times sake. Well, I’m a sucker for nostalgia, so must admit for all its faults, I still enjoy seeing the original characters, even though they are now grown up. Though just not the same without Michelle, my grandmother’s favorite character. I guess she just moved on.

And it was strange watching with my daughter this time around. The loved ones in my world have been taken from me, and new ones been given.
