I remember alot of tv shows and movies that had an emotional moment that connected with me but one that really pains me has to do with the last moments in the episode "Jurassic Bark" from Futurama. We all remember seeing Seymour standing in the same spot outside of Panucci's Pizza waiting for Fry to come back and waited til his final day of life. Now why this gets to me is because it makes me think of my ride or die guy who shares a special connection with me told me a long and emotional story about his cat Furry Foo.
Now Furry Foo was a cat that was born at his ex-girlfriends place. He was 1 of 3 in the litter and she held onto Furs for my friend. Then the time came when Furry Foo moved into his family's home and it opened up the door for his family to adopt more cats and have one big family. Now my friend was extremely connected with Furs because it was during a time when he felt truly alone and needed someone who could make him feel better. Fast forward to a few years and my friend gets kicked out of the house for dating his ex and because he wasn't doing what his dad wanted him to do in life. His father is a strict and conditional person. So he gets kicked out and holds onto the only person he knows that could help because of how sudden it was and goes with this devil woman and has no way to get out of the relationship without fearing to be homeless. So he stayed and took her abuse. So one day in 2016, his sister tries to get a hold of him to tell him that Furry Foo passed away. His ex pretended to be him and deliberately told him that Furry Foo passed away 4 days later after she found out. Needless to say he was heartbroken and that's what finally woke him up to trying to leave the relationship.
So in the episode Jurassic Bark, Seymour lives up to 15 years old and Fry doesn't want to bring Seymour back to life because he feels that Seymour moved on when Fry never returned after years and years. Now for Furry Foo my friend continues to feel guilty and majorly depressed that he never got to say goodbye. Everyone in his family (Dad, Mom, Brother, 2
Sisters) got to say something and give their goodbyes but he never did as it was kept from him and is now left carrying those emotions. Now when we see Seymour outside waiting for Fry, my friend will always ask me "Do you think Furry Foo is mad at me because I never got to say goodbye. Kind of wondering if Furry Foo was thinking "Where is Tim? It's my time to go and he isn't here. Where is he?" And that's all because of him feeling guilty about not being there to say goodbye and tell him how much Furry Foo meant to him. He likes to believe that Furry Foo went downstairs in the basement into the gaming room (where he was found) late in the night (where Tim and his brother always played and video games) and sat on the chair that Tim would always sit in and laid down and went peacefully to sleep because even if he didn't get to see him one last time he did the same thing that Seymour did and waited for their friend and never gave up until their final breath.
I would have done anything to make sure that he could get to see Furry Foo once more so he could say his goodbyes because he feels like everything he wants to say isn't going to be heard because he isn't holding him in his arms and looking at him to tell him what he needs to say. But I tell him that I know Furry Foo knew that you were there in spirit and him going into the basement was his way to try and connect with you once more. I wish I could turn back time so I could see his smile and hold him in his arms again and feel that bond again. But just like Fry said he knew Seymour for only a good number of years but what happened during those years when he wasn't there made him believe that Seymour moved on when in actuality he never forgot about Fry. That's what I tell Tim, you were there for Furry Foo's birth and you two were inseparable for years but those last two years that you two weren't around together didn't stop him from loving you and he never would be mad that you never got to say goodbye because in one way or another he hears it and one day you can say I'm back instead.
I'm sorry for the long beginning post but I wanted to connect the Seymour Waiting scene to someone who went through the same thing that always gets to me.
