Nancy, I looked for this link last weekend but it wasn't here yet.
It's finally here!
I went to see our boys AGAIN wednesday. I decided to sneak away from
work early and go see it. Was needing a fix. I think that might have been
my 11 time. I've lost count. Don't care.
This story has also brougt many, many emotions that were hidden in
my heart and soul to the surface. I don't think I will ever be the same.
As you and I have previously discussed, this movie brought back
memories of past loves that didn't come to a happy conclusion, like
Jack and Ennis's. Regrets and haunting wondering about the what if's.
I feel both men's pain so deeply. Get mad at one one time I see it, the
other character the next viewing. I just wanted them to ride away
into the sunset together. But, that would have been an entirely
different movie, wouldn't it? I still analyze ever darn scene to death!
I can't stop. However, the tragic ending is a very good lesson in
itself.
All any of us, regardless of age, sex, race or sexual orientation, want out
of life is that one great love to spend the rest of our lives with.
I haven't been that fortunate, and at 58, don't believe I will.
I'm going to be an Ennis, wondering around a badly furnished trailer
wishing I had done things different.
I wanted our boy's to have that so bad.
