We watched, we loved, we cried. There is nothing better than crying together at sad movies.
Today my daughter and I watched the Notebook. Our second intentional sad movie together. Phantom of the Opera was our first and will always be a tear jerker...but this story of young love through the ages was very meaningful today.
Next up will plan to watch (and cry with) A Trip to Bountiful.
p.s. Hachi - is another tear jerker we accidentally watched. Not for the faint of heart.
When she was three, my daughter asked me if she could be a tiger and I said SURE. Fifteen minutes later I came downstairs to take her to preschool and found her tranformed. Before freaking out about the fact that we were going to be late for school and that she was covered in ink....I grabbed my camera and photographed her.
I hope that I will always encourage her be who she is.
I pray that I will always enjoy her self expression.
I know that I will always document her journey.
p.s. my favorite details are the infinity sign on her face, and her big toe.
The other day I was talking to a friend about the cafe and all of a suddent I got it. The fact that I have a restaurant had not quite sunk in until that moment. It was sort of magical.
When you are creating something, you are in it and doing it and making it happen- and sometimes it is hard to step back and actually see what you have done.
Life takes time and effort...and moments of pause to reflect.
