The rest of the day was eventful. I wento see Up with Laney. I also took Jenny's kids, Alex and Ryan, and went with Kristin, Carissa, and Brittany. It was so fun to sit there in our 3-D glasses and laugh and cry together. Yes, I cried. It was a cartoon, but it was sad. The main character met his wife when they were very young, and it showed them living their lives together, growing old, dreaming their dreams together...and then she died! So, he started off on the adventure that he promised to have with her. He sat in the chair beside her empty chair and talked to her picture. They were soul mates, and he had to live without her. It was quite sad, actually.
Then, we got home, and all the kids played in the little pool. We ordered pizza and all hung out all evening. Scott and Jenny came, and we all laughed a lot. Good times...
Now, I am ready for bed and too exhausted to think too much. I guess I did a lot of that earlier. But, I will end with the thought that has been haunting me all day. When my life is near the end, as it was for the old man in the movie...how will I look back on it? He had a memory book that he looked through of pictures of his wife and him. Tears glistened in his eyes as he saw her face and remembered their times together. You could tell he lived a life of happiness. Will I look at a picture book and smile over knowing that my life was exactly how I wanted it? Or will I drown in a pool of regret?
