On movies like the Bucket List.
We watched it today, and I'm currently sobbing like a child. I didn't know it would impact me that deeply... and I think I would have been okay... had it not been for the woman giving her husband a lemon swab.
And it all came back to me... my dad in the hospital bed... the beeps of monitors all around... and me, giving my dad swabs of water because they were afraid to let him drink out of a cup.
Grief is such a wierd thing... a stabbing pain coming at the most unexpected of times.

Hi Jana - I'm sorry I haven't been by for awhile, but I finally made it by tonight and now that I'm here, it looks like you could use a hug. Hope you don't mind - but here's one to take as needed~((HUG))
It's strange but true, how these things can sneak up on you and take you unawares. Take care and be gentle with you~XOXO
Oh Jana, that is so sad and I really can relate. Since I moved I have only allowed myself to watch brainless silly stuff for absolute fear and dread something will have emotional content. I recommend: 27 Dresses, Get Smart, Indiana Jones...those types of movies. Fun escapes for a while.
It did feel like my brain was disappearing for a while with so little intellectual stimulation but that is what I have needed to do to keep my emotions from raging out of control. Stories are powerful!
I have been wanting to rent The Bucket List, and since I am cry-baby, I am sure I will go through wads of puffs.
I bawled with P.S. I love you. Yikes, I cried through the whole thing and found a new admiration and a bit of a crush on Irish men.
Here is a HUGE cyber (((HUG))) from a friend who loves you.
I haven't seen the movie yet but there are other movies that have had that same affect on me. It's silly, but I break up over the littlest of things with movies. They have a way of doing that. Here's a great big ~~~~H*U*G*~~~~ from me, sprinkled with sparkly happy dust for good measure.
