Oh my, Miss Aibileen...

All I want to do is hole up in my bathroom and  have a good cry!  That was just the saddest and most wonderful end to a story that I've read in a long time.  It made my heart break and soar with possibilities all at the same time.  I told Pokey that we can now watch the movie - we MUST watch the movie.  He agreed and totally gets it when I tell him about needing a good cry but couldn't because Hobbit just wouldn't understand. 

My Pokey, God love him, cries during good books and movies.  It is a trait that caught me off guard the first time he did it because in all my years, I've never seen a grown man cry, not even my daddy.  Even when PopPop died, he never shed a tear that I ever saw... I honestly don't know if he's even done it to this day.  So to have married a man who can read a book with tears streaming down his face or watch a movie and blubber right along with you - well, I've grown to appreciate that aspect of my husband.  He's my best friend for a reason - and the best person to watch a chick flick with because he gets just as upset as I do!  He just gets it.
