It choked me up

You really shouldn't take my opinion on movies seriously.

Please help me....anything that isn't Air Buddies, Space Buddies, or dogs playing sports and single parents with dogs finding love with other single parent families with dogs meeting at the soccer field finding love and joining families simply fascinating sooooooo......

That being said...

We watched a movie the other night that totally rocked my world.

Before I tell you what it was (because you'll stop reading), I'll tell you why.

At the end, if you can make it there, there is a scene in the climax of the movie, where time stood still. Where there was the ultimate picture of what it meant to make the ultimate sacrifice for another person. To give them your life.

It choked me up.

It choked ME up.

The movie was Mars Needs Moms.

Stop laughing. 

WHO could've seen that one coming?

The whole movie the son has tried so hard to achieve a goal and he couldn't do it. Then, as you have seen, things shattered and he was there on the ground, unable to breathe, gasping for air...dying. Was there another choice for her? What was a mother to do?

What is a mother's love?

She would unflinchingly give her life for her child.

What is a father's love? That he would do the same.

What is our Father's love then? I wondered. That he sent his Son to breathe life back into us. Like he did.

It chokes me up.

I wasn't choked up at all. I just flat out wept. And I didn't even see the whole movie!
