How could I forget...

Jason and Sarah are at youth convention,  so it is me and the B-bear.

After putting Brayden to bed I sat on the couch with my computer to do a couple of things and turned the TV on in the background for the noise. I saw "Message In A Bottle" was on, which I have seen at least twice, and figured I would have it on since I wouldn't be completely focused on it. It is a Nicholas Sparks movie, never something Jason would watch. It's a chick flick to the core.

My plan was to go to bed around 10-10:30 until I forgot how the movie ends. How could I forget? Like I said I have seen it twice, maybe even three times. I should have fought the urge to finish watching it, but with Jason not being home I always hate climbing into bed by myself, so I figured if I watched a little more it would come to me and then I could sleep in peace.

Warning: If you haven't seen the movie, but my blog has peaked your interest to, you should probably stop reading this so you don't know what happens.

It all came flooding back to me in the last 30 minutes of the movie when Garrett (Kevin Costner) goes out to sea to send his late wife his last love letter to her so he can then go sail to Theresa (Robin Wright) who has taught him how to love again. But wait...Garrett hits a storm, tries to save a family in need and dies trying to help them. I hate it when the hero dies. I hate it so much that I had to mute this part and went about my computer stuff during the whole storm and death scene. I couldn't take it.

Then, as only Nicholas Sparks can do to a story, Garrett's father finds the letter (I tuned back in at this point) that he was going to throw out to sea which declared his love for Theresa but hadn't had a chance to tell her. The tears came flooding when she reads the letter. Yes, Theresa/Robin I feel your pain. Sniff, Sniff. Yes, of course I cried and I must say not just a few tears. I would have been embarrassed had anyone been sitting next to me. They probably would have thought "What in the world is wrong with you?" LOL! Should I be embarrassed now that I am sharing it with you all? Ha! Ha! If you know me, I cry at almost anything sappy. It was definitely a good cry.

So here I am at 12 a.m. when I should have just gone to bed at 10 p.m. asking myself "Was watching that movie really worth it? How could I forget an ending like that?" To funny. Next time I see "Message In A Bottle" on TV I HOPE I remember the ending and pass it by.

Thanks for letting me share my forgetfulness with you.
