Deanna: What I wanted for this place. Was that really just a pie in the sky?

I always found it interesting that Rick had a major event with his dad that occurred when he was the same age as RJ. I wasn’t of the mindset that there’s something more to come from that down the line, but I do think within TOWL it was an intentional parallel between Rick and RJ. Because 7-year-old RJ also has a major father-related event shape him when he meets Rick at the end of the season. The story Rick told in the premiere is one where he witnessed just how much his dad would do to take care of his family. And I think it set up nicely how RJ will grow up to also recall this year of his life as one where he learned just how much his dad did and would do to protect their family, too.

Rick told Michonne that the ONLY thing he wanted for Father's Day, was a day at home where they didn't do anything, just hung out.

Sure, they'd all spent the night before wrapping the gifts they'd carefully made and picked out for him. Michonne had planned to order food from his favorite restaurant, and the kids had practiced exactly how they were going t ask him to take them on a family walk before bed.

But, the main reason Rick didn't ask for anything, is because he always feels like the best gift is just getting to wake up every morning to a life he never imagined he'd have.
