Okay, so I am an emotional mess! I confess I cry at movies and reunions with family you haven't see for years!
Yes, that's right. I watched "Sex in the City" on my Qantas Australia flight to Qld to visit my sister for her 40th and I cried. Actually, it was on the way home. Seeing Carry's face when she belts him with the flowers did something to me on a deep level. In that moment as I sat in my window seat on the plane, trying to discretely hide the tears and the sniffels, I was every woman ever jilted! And yes, I also cried when the couple were reunited on the bridge. Who wouldn't it was pure Hollywood magic!
But I cried more when I was embraced by my younger brother who I had literally not seen since the funeral of my mother over 19 years ago. One look at his face and my sunny smile became a watery wonderland. It was so lovely to be with him again and to know that someone I loved deeply was back in my life.
I don't know how you feel, but to me family is really special and precious and often neglected!
I have a photo of the three of us to prove it...brother, sister and I, sharing the moment together! It is a memory I will have for life, because I don't know how long it will be before we can all be together again.
It just showed me how important family really are to our hearts, if not our minds.
I'm now looking forward to getting some weight off, as the years have been way too kind to me!!!
