Marley and me...and tears
Wow! I don't know the last time a movie has been so emotional. Me, yeah I had a couple tears. What can I say I'm a sucker for stuff like this. Did you like it? I didn't know the kids were paying that much attention, but the kids were bawling at the end when Marley gets sick and it shows the Vet putting him down. Jace actually fainted and Lyssa was inconsolable. I guess TV is still reality to them, especially Jace. So we used this as an opportunity to answer all their questions about graves, and resurrection, and dying, and I told them about my two pets that died. And we just did a lot of cuddling, and talking, and comforting before tucking them in tonight.

Wow, fainted?! I did like it--I didn't cry but it was touching. I almost didn't watch it because I'm not a dog (or dog movie) person, but I'm glad that I watched it.
