I'm Feeling Odd
Before I get into that, here's a pretty bday card made by my friend, Princess. Thanks, Princess. :)
Ok, the oddness...My father died in Feb 2002.
Anyway, today I decided to watch this old movie called "Love Story" with Ryan O'Neal and Allie McGraw. It really was a beautiful movie, I even cried which is rare for me. But the whole movie was about living for now, loving people and giving them the freedom to be who they are and forgiveness.
Well, the thing is the movie's theme song. When I was a kid, my dad gave me a music box and it had that haunting theme song. I never even knew it until today when I saw the movie. I then noticed that the year the movie was made was the year of my birth: 1970.
So it got me on a long trail of imagining if maybe he'd picked that music box because he liked the movie and it was made the year I was born?
I started thinking about him, the way he was after he'd gotten sober (a very sensitive, spiritual person) and it was almost as if the movie held a special message for me from him all these years later..as if it were a movie we'd watched together.
This is pure conjecture on my part but it's almost as if I have a new memory of my dad even though he's already gone and I'm sitting here crying about it, but bittersweet tears.
