You All Need To Watch This Movie

[Dusky]

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:

Love and peace to each of you,

John - Dusky is my handle on here.

Love you Jack

Remarkably, I never saw that one. I'm going to though. You would not steer us wrong John.

Thanks, and peace and love for you as well

Thank you Dusky. I heard of that movie. I think it came out a few years ago.

If anyone knows of any good books I would be interested. If I come across any, I will let you all know.

Jeanne,

My friend read Randy Pausch's "The Last Lecture" and so did her daughter. They say it is an easy read and has really helped them in this journey that we are all taking.

Jeanne,

You must be fairly new to this site. I have shared a rather extensive book list in the past so I will list it again below. However, before I do that please check out my own personal web site at http://findingmybananabreadman.com/ which was established to promote the book I wrote following the death of my jack three years ago. It is entitled Finding My Banana Bread Man."

Here is the list of books I promised you. I also think that Marty (The web site moderator) may a link to this same list somewhere on this site - I just do not know how to direct you to it.

Dusky:

I just went to your site and could not stop crying. I hope you are well now. I would very much like to read your book and will order it.

May God Bless you.

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.

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!
