Wow! There is a good reason why I avoid weepy films. 1. Unnecessary expenditure of energy 2. Don't like being over emotional because there is always the risk of opening the flood gates 3. Fight so hard to avoid sadness that I don't want fiction to penetrate that armour. 4. I like happy films that make me smile. OK so it seems in fact that I have many more tha 1 reason why I don't like weepy films.
However, sometimes to their credit depending on the quality of the screenplay, it actually sends a message across, loud & clear for you to recognise, understand, accept, think about & then hopefully act upon. The Last Song was the film, starring Miley Cyrus & Chris (name). Greg Kinnear was her dad who had lost contact with her when she punished him for splitting with her mum and moving back to his home town. Ronnie & her brother Jonus came to spend the summer with him, the story followed her journey through getting over her anger to let the true person shine through, to falling in love, forgiveness, & selflessness. It was a very good watch. Sitting in a different seat as a parent it just made me realise again, how short time is & how quickly life changes, not always for the best.
This time that I have with the girls is so precious, no matter what has happened we have to make the most of every second because we just do not know when that might be taken away. Instead if fighting, we should find calmer solutions to the problems - we should help the girls to celebrate their futures, be building them up & giving them routine & boundaries. Regardless of my condition, I have to step up more and be a better mum & make sure that this house is one that they are proud to call a home, at the moment it lacks love & that's what this home needs - music and laughter & fun! To have life breathed back into it - to feel alive!!
