Well, the book has an extremely sad ending, if you haven't read it or seen the movie. She was reading the part where Marley had died and the dad was letting the kids know about it and the tears would just not stop. Hers AND mine. (she read the Junior Edition, not the adult book - which is not appropriate for kids, nor is the movie, IMO.)
too cute! (well, not that i ENJOYED seeing your daughter cry, but you get the idea.) but this a good example of why I CANNOT go see that movie. or any movie, for that matter, where an animal is hurt or killed. cruel little me doesn't cry usually if people get hurt or killed in movies (i can't believe i'm admitting this), but animals, oh man, breaks my heart...:)
Sweet girl - just want to give her a big hug. Old Yeller, Charlotte's Web, My Friend Flicka, Where the Red Fern Grows, they just tug at your heart like that. I still remember them as the very best books from my childhood though. Seeing your child so vulmerable tugs at your heart a bit too, I am sure. Thanks for the moment.
Awwww! I know how she feels. I saw Marley and Me at the movies and then later was looking at the book to read the end and I had to put it down because I knew I would be ballin'.
Some call me a basketball widow, but I look for the blessings in being married to a coach, who happens to be a wonderful man, husband and father. I stay busy by blogging about children, parenting, crafting, Christianity, photography, blogging, family life, my sweet granny in heaven who is my inspiration, and oh yeah, a little bit of basketball.
As time zooms by, I lose the moments of my life that I don't want to forget. They get washed in the pocket of my jeans or they get stuck in a wad of gum in my carpet. Sometimes, I just box them up, like old love letters, and I can't seem to find them again. This is my attempt to sweep those memories back up, and hold them fast so I can remember all the days that mean so much!
What My Kids Said Today....
Luke: Is it normal to have a crack in your tongue?
Luke: (excitedly) I had a great day at school today!! Me: (super happy because we have been working hard on improving self-control at school) GREAT Luke! I'm so proud of you. What happened? Luke: I played great at Quarterback during recess!!!
Ellie: (while playing tennis on a hot day): I've realized I'm like a Boston Terrier. I'm a lot of fun, but I overheat really easily.

Oh, that is so precious. The reading and the emotion!
I have a hard time getting books in my kids hands, but once they are into it, they are fine.
You are a great mommmy!

That is so sweet. What a precious heart she has.
This bright tears to my own eyes. What a great picture and treasure it will be for her.
Courtney looked just like that when she got to that part in the book. I cried a lot as well when I read it.
