I saw this video at Dooce’s site, and loved it 10 seconds into it.
If this doesn’t hit you hard, then I don’t wanna know ya. (That’s from a movie, but damned if I can think of it right now. Hate that!)
No, of course I wanna know you, but—I really think the video is remarkable.
Watch it. Really. I think it’s so worth it.
And afterward? I don’t know what to say. I’m sure sitting here thinking. Hard, actually. I wonder if you are too? I’d love to hear what you’re thinking. Maybe it will help me figure out why I feel so emotional right now.
I wouldn’t dare say it didn’t hit me hard and risk you not wanting to know me. It did hit me hard–it covers the gamut, doesn’t it? I especially like the church and science lab shot, and the baby and old man walking, and the very last one. I’m older than you are, Paula, and about to be a grandmother, but I’ve barely begun walking myself.
Hi, friend! You sure don’t sound older. But hey, I’ll be there in a minute or two, after I blink my eyes.
Yes, some shots really hit harder than others. The end? I hardly know what to say. WOW probably covers it.
Barely walking. I know the feeling. Seems I’m only getting started now, in my fifties! Then I think back and realize that no, I’ve done a lot. It’s a confusing thing, growing older, isn’t it? Yet it will happen to us all, if we’re lucky enough to stick around that long. I am planning for a lot more time.
