So I watched Marley and me this weekend. I don’t know why I had never seen it before. Had seen previews of it before and it seemed like it might be a hollow comedy. hmmm hollow comedy? I guess something with a few funny moments, but not many and no substance. Then I heard it was good, but kind of heavy. It was great. The way he describes Marley in the end is so descriptive of the place that dogs take in our lives. Very special. Yeah Kate is missed, but the times are special and filled with laughter and love. Just seemed like she should have had three more years. Three years? Just feels like it.
Somehow I have a feeling that it still has a story that hasn’t been written in regards to my life.
I wrote the above over a year ago. It really did speak to me at the time. Maybe it still holds true in the way I was thinking. I just didn’t realize that the sentiment would already come true, but in a completely different way…twice. Life has this funny way of throwing things at us.
January comes to an end. In the past New Years eve has always been this time when I look forward to the wonderful possibilities of the upcoming year. This year it wasn’t that way. I entered it with unremarkable expectations.
It has already been a remarkable month.
