Your writing is raw and moving. Beautiful writing.

Warm hugs to you. Your expression of your experience and care for your dad and who he is is deeply moving. I admire your relationship and how you have cared for him.

I wish for all you could ever hope for to flow to you and even more and greater than you could imagine.

And the movie: yes, the receiving line/opening scene did trip me too. The guys and their portrayal of love and passion are HOT!

...funny, I am remembering my Christian Grandma having the soap opera General Hospital on the TV when I was young. It was like her guilty pleasure. She claimed she needed to see what the rest of the world is like. She lived in a very rural area. Yeah, I think we do need pleasures, fantasy and all that sparks happiness.
