i need a heart

because apparently, i dont have one! reason being: i dont cry during movies. i just don't. i have no idea why. it doesnt matter how sappy the chick flick, they never get to me. my dear husband has a heart as big as it gets i guess because he cries for them all. he cries for chick flicks, any kind of sports movie ('specially football and baseball) and ones that remind him of samoa where he served his mission. a couple classic examples:

1-we saw "martian child" in the dollar theater friday night (HIGHLY recommend it!) and i didnt notice but at the end he was bawling when the kid and dad are on top of the telescope. not really even a chick flick but just has some good morals or something in it.
2- tonight we put on "the other side of heaven" which is set in tonga, and is almost identical to samoa in culture, setting, language, people, etc. the opening credits started and he was tearing up and trying to hold back.

its highly probable that he cried during lord of the rings- actually im pretty sure. i usually (ok, every time) sleep through most of them, but it wouldn't surprise me.

which reminds me. we are going to see the play "wicked" over christmas break. i'll ask the wizard for a heart while i am there.

Don't let that be your "gauge" for a heart. He just gets his sappiness from his mother. I bet you save your tears for the "real" moments - not the ones in make belive land.

I didn't have a heart eather until i had kids...now the hallmark commercials tear me up, it is kind of embarrasing.
