I cried pretty much through the whole dang movie. The beginning scene got me started as well, and the end--well, it was the end, as you well described. My tears were both about my own really quite lovely childhood and about the childhood I attempt to create every day for my own babies. It was a such a tender, real movie and right on the mark. Pixar officially has my loyalty forever, I think.AmyJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02110725642243839603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32806324.post-2201992019433030642010-08-06T10:07:58.486-06:002010-08-06T10:07:58.486-06:00Well, not being a mom, my answer will have to be t...Well, not being a mom, my answer will have to be taken with a grain of salt, but based on my observations, they are in a better position to do so if it is done incrementally. My mom sent me off to Germany for the summer after jr. year, and then off to the U of U before she had to deal with the MTC experience. I will never forget pulling out of the driveway with my dad to move to SLC for college. My mom was really shaken up, despite the fact I wasn't going very far away. At the time I thought she was overreacting, but in retrospect, it was good for her to have that experience before sending me on a mission. <br /><br />In contrast, I've seen some families whose children didn't wander off to college or similar endeavors pre-mission really get beat up by the mission experience.<br /><br />Of course, you never fully let go of the parent-child connection. There are powers beyond those of this world binding parent to child, and thank God for that.<br /><br />When we had our second, we were living in Miami and my mom came to help out for a bit. She didn't do well on the ride back to the airport. The prospect of leaving her son and grandchildren in a roach-infested ghetto apartment (to be clear, my wife keeps a very clean house, but there is no such thing as a non-roach-infested residence in Miami--they are everywhere) on the other side of the continent was not exciting for her. Honestly, I felt quite flattered that even after so many years away from home I was loved so much. <br /><br />I don't doubt for a second that you will have similar feelings for a 25-year-old Jedi Knight, wherever he may wander.mstangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09639843518912282840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32806324.post-8970123858202419312010-08-02T18:35:53.072-06:002010-08-02T18:35:53.072-06:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.家唐銘https://www.blogger.com/profile/15855314123419164152noreply@blogger.com
