Dusky Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 Hello everyone,Every once in a while I stumble across either a good book or movie that I need to pass a long to each of you. Today I rented a movie - from the library - free - entitled "Things we lost in the fire" - staring Halle Barry. It is the kind of move that speaks to individuals who have lost a loved one particularly someone who has lost their mate. It is a movie that deals with grief, death and dying - as well as addiction - and the emotional roller coaster that each of us has individually expereinced.It will be worth the two hours watching time for you. Do yourself a favor and watch this movie. "Accept Good"Here is a link to You Tube where Hale Barry talks about the movie:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBDOSu4U1ZALove and peace to each of you,John - Dusky is my handle on here.Love you Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeA Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Jeanne -You will be glad you got John's book. It is moving and inspiring, and contains real wisdom. It was one of the first books I read after Kathy died and I'm still re-reading and learning from it.- Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bebekat Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Hey Dusky,I saw "Things We Lost in the Fire" and was surprised at how good it was. I couldn't stop crying (that's a good thing). I especially loved the part when she couldn't sleep so she had him just hold her. I saw it when it first came out on video. I think I would like to see it again. Thanks John!
