I'm sincerely sorry to hear that, C.
Thank you. I appreciate your sentiment, but Hey! I didn't mean it like that! My mother died awhile ago; and while I'm sad that she is gone, she was an old, old lady who lived a long, mostly happy and unbelievably exciting life, until the very end - when she died peacefully in her home.
I think I was trying to explain, perhaps to myself, why I happened to be watching Strong Country on HBO in the middle of the day. I refuse to pay for it at my house, but have to admit that, once in a great while, I see a show that I was glad to have watched.
Knock on wood, I know I've been lucky. I felt for the kid... His seemed like a hopeless situation. He has his youth, but obviously sometimes, life just isn't fair. I was glad to hear that he seems to be doing better - and touched that he's reaching out and helping others.
Oh-h-h... That reminds me. I found another tearjerker. The part at about 2:00 really got to me.
