"Sometimes, special people come into our lives, stay for a bit, and then they have to go"

As a kid who grew up poor and moved around a lot as mom tried to make ends meet, this episode fucking obliterated me. Goddamn 36 year old watching a neighbor's kids having to explain that I'm fine, don't worry, to a couple of very confused littles.

The “hello Bluey” at the end gets me every time.
It's lovely, isn't it?

My daughter's amazement that I can translate the French bits of dialogue from Jean-Luc were a joy, too. :-) But that made me appreciate the scriptwriting more -- because almost everything Jean-Luc says, Bluey _also_ says, independently, so it works if -- like my wife and kid -- you don't know a word of French.

God my eyes are hot just thinking about it!
You're a survivor. I hope things are easier and more stable for you these days.
