I saw this movie tonight. It was quite fun, but it’s not the movie of the century. Though, something moved me. At the very beginning of the movie, there’s a speech about love and how love actually is everywhere, and it gives the exemple the people in the planes on 9/11, the one who called their families and no one left a hate message, that was always love. I think that’s f***ing true… It reminded me that the last words I remember from my mother with all her head were “I love you”. Well, she wasn’t adressing to me. But still, remember that made me cry like a baby. If only I wasn’t such a sissy… Sorry, I just feel a little bluesy tonight. By the way, if you want to talk about the movie, go for it !

My granny's last words were "Could you make me a little tea, darling? Your tea is always wonderful."
I was alone with her in her bedroom, that time. My mother went to sleep (she was exhausted!) I was scared to death grandmother would pass away. I kept crying and pleading "please, please, don't die, granny." I smiled when she asked tea and said I prepared it well, because the last time I did it for her, I was like...9 years old(she died last year). Well, when I came back with her tea, she was already gone. I wonder she sensed what was happening, and sent me away so I would not watch her die. She did not like tea that much, and she was very lucid in the end. Well...don't know why I'm telling all this. Makes me misty eyed until now. This thread just invited memories.

I'm sorry if I made you unhappy, Eduardo. It's just, you know, I was feeling bluesy and wanted to know there were people around here. But it was a funny movie, apart of that. Really. As I said, not a movie I will remember all my life, but still good and funny.

No, not unhappy. I just...long for her. "Saudade", we call this feeling. To long for someone or something. To tell you the truth, is nice to know she loved me so much that she cared for me until the end. I'm also feeling bluesy today, and remembering granny give me a little strenght :-)

I dreamed about my father this past week, and I had not since the last time I was pregnant. I have had very lucid, 'visitation' sort of dreams with my father both times I was pregnant, and I was really, really late over Thanksgiving, so I was convinced I was pregnant again. But I'm not.
Anyway. My father. Not a great man. Not even really a good man, by most accounts. But I know he loved me, and I know he was actually a good man in the end. In these dreams, he tells me he loved me, and we talk about the boys. It's actually very comforting. I just realized that I don't miss him anymore, because it's like he's still with me. That is sooo cliche, but it feels true to me.
Love is what matters most, I think.

I think this thread is oh so much cooler than a discussion about some silly movie would have been.
(We missed you Ralphie. I hope you guys are doing ok.)
(((Anna))) Bluesy days are interesting. You want to say that you don't like them, but sometimes you deserve a day just to think about yourself, your memories and all the things that you usually don't 'have time' to think about. I hope you're not bluesy for long though. We love you.
