Or maybe I'm just pre-menstrual after all

Okay, my intent isn't to egregiously pimp my new blog, Vidiotbox, but can I ask you to please watch this video if you get a chance? I'm touting it as one of the more tearjerking things I've ever seen, but SOME PEOPLE ARE DISAGREEING WITH ME.

Am I crazy? Pre-menstrual? Well, yes, maybe... on both counts. But I still think this video is awesome.

    Loved it. And plus, what an awesome song - I think I'll go and watch it again...

    Reminds me how much our kids look up to us and how much the little things turn into big memories down the road...

    I've thought the same thing, and tried not to freak out about it. I mean, here we are bumbling along with this "parenting" thing, and at any moment we could be unwittingly participating in a lifelong MEMORY. The pressure! Ack!

    Wonderful little video!!

    Had a weird moment today - my parents who have been divorced since I was 9 saw each other for the first time in 19 years last night. Tonight, my Mom, Dad, half-bro Kyle, Rian of course and I went out to eat. Kyle and I went across the street to buy something. Coming back, looking in the restaurant window, was Rian being fed by my Dad with my Mom across the table looking on.

    I've never thought my parents should've stayed married - I love my half bro Kyle and sis Kelty. My stepmother Veronica is amazing and she is my Dad's soulmate. And my Mom is truly incredible - she became herself raising us on her own, and I'm blown away by the way she lives her life (not only because she's retiring, leaving her life on the East coast and moving up the road to become Rian's Nanna).

    I guess the scene in the restaurant with my (divorced)parents and my son was a weird moment in time. What might have been if history and personalities had been different.

    And that the one thing I want for people to do is to love Rian. His grandparents, his other family, strangers on a bus, everyone.

    This video and song just reminds me how important family really are! Almost wish I hadn't seen it, feel so weepy...

    The video was even more tearjerking than the Campbell's soup commercial from years ago with the little red-haired girl who brought a painting home from school to show her mom and dropped it in the rain.

    I can't watch it without turning into a quivering mass of jello, so I've avoided watching it more than once. (I just figured out that I have an aversion to sadness).
