My dad came home last night from work in a particularly good mood. It's that time of the year when we all look back on the year we've had and start to appreciate all of the blessings around us. We're healthy, happy and at the end of the day, that's really all that matters.
His request last night was that we watch "It's A Wonderful Life" after dinner. We own the movie and for some reason I never have watched it with my mom and dad even though they watch it every Christmas. It's black and white and set in the 1920's, and I guess I just figured I wouldn't be able to relate. Let's just say I ate my words because by the end of the movie, my dad looked over and tears were literally flooding my face.
There's a great quote that I just loved when the main character, George Bailey asks the girl he likes, Mary:
"What do you want, Mary? Do you want the moon? If you want it, I'll throw a lasso around it and pull it down for you."
I mean really, who talks like that anymore?
