Thanks, thanks MainWriter, and ifyoucantfixit!!
May I say that we all carry a cross... it seems so to say that was/is Holy Friday!!
Jack carried his cross... as he could not suceed getting to live with Ennis!
Ennis carries his cross too in many ways then and to-day!! Fear is fear, and Hurt is hurt in both!!
Their lives alone and combined are powerful and moving, similar to what you say MaineWriter.
They had at least, some The best years of their lives too, somehow, thanks goodness!!
Concerning the movie The Best Years of Our Lives (you can see on You Tube), War is hurt, and violent it was as that soldier did not have his two hands anymore... may I say ifyoucantfixit. And now he feared (like Ennis) that society would reject him, especially could not marry his girlfriend now, and with no buts the love of his male friend and his girlfriend makes it possible and an enjoyable mariage!! Society can help too to increase helping and to love!!
Just helped mother as I did finished washing the dishes. She is baking apples pies... come eat some hot!!
Happy Easter ifyoucantfixit and Maine-Writer!! And all!!
