We Are Marshall

It's a powerful film. Perhaps more so for myself than for others because 1) I tend to get overly emotionally involved in movies (yes, Rachel, I admit that's true) and 2) it brought back recollections of the accident at Taylor a few years back.

Maybe you'll appreciate it, maybe you won't. Either way, I still think you should see it. If nothing else, resonate with the pain of that university and that town. Empathize with the loss of sons, teammates, and friends. Be thankful for the resilience of so many who stood in the face of grief. Smile at the overcoming of adversity.

Above all else, remember to be thankful for what you have. I am once again reminded that the physical things of my life are all but meaningless; the people and relationships I have hold all the value.

[And now I'm going to bed so I can run with KK in the morning. That's becoming a precious sister time. :) ]

The end.
