#keepbinginggargoyles

I got back into binging Gargoyles and got to the “Cloud Fathers” episode, and… Oof.

I totally forgot that Elisa’s grandfather was dead, and that her urging her father to visit him was to visit his grave. That moment at the end, when Elisa’s dad acknowledged that he wasted the years he and his father could have spent being in each other’s lives was a gutpunch. I understand cutting ties with family when they have become toxic, but there are times when stubbornness and anger can ruin a relationship that could have flourished if one side was willing to give. Life is short. Don’t take the good people in your lives for granted.
