I used to be a big sucker for happy endings, dog stories (are there any where the dog doesn't die?), good over evil, sacrifice, and of course Christmas stories.
I lost that for a long time, culminating in my postpartum depression. After that I would just get so upset because the even Grinch (maybe Christmas meant something much more) didn't make me cry. And that's been close to seven years.
Upon reflection, I think it's a good thing to be able to cry at movies again.
And you guys made me laugh about what I was choosing to cry about. Thanks. :)
(And Tabitha, the weather channel Storm Stories are really touching. Full of pain and loss and courage and self sacrifice. Sniff. Sniff. Almost overcomes my deep dislike of the weather channel caused by my husband's fascination with and eternal playing of it.)
