My life the movie

"a real tear jerker, the chick flick to end all chick flicks!" - LA Times

"more action than Benji - and twice the fun" - NY Post

"If superheroes were real, this would be their movie" - Paducah Post Gazette

Yup thats what the reviews would say. My life the movie. I guess that is a scenario we all think about. What if my life were a movie? Everything wrapped up in 100 minutes or so. Nothing left hanging. No unknown. Resolution at every turn.

So what would my life the movie be like? I figured i would start by telling you why I like so many of the movies I like now. You know the ones that make me laugh, think, and tear up so easily.

"Family Man" - Clearly one of my favorite movies. The perfect couple and an outside view of why. When either of them says the "we have made some sacrifices" speech I cannot help but think of us. "we've had a few surprises and made our share of sacrifices, but we always stay together. You see we're in love, unbelievably in love. And nothing is more important than that". Whther the Jersey thing fits or not, it is the same for us. But the best thing said in the movie is the part that fits us best. As Jack describes how his new life of success will make people Envy them she replies simply "Jack - they already do.". I can't help but cry. It is exactly what i think people think about us.

"Big Fish" - a man larger than life. A man who simply wants to make sure his life was memorable. A man who realizes that through him so many other people have been made special and who wants nothing more than to feel the same. Big fancy exaggerations of routine stories of life. So what they entertain. They make him bigger than life in his eyes. They make sure that he is immortal and the stories live on after he passes. How coul you not want that? All i ever think about when i watch that movie is how people will remember you and I. Will they talk about us like a lasting love story? A passionate tale of two people so enamored with one another that amazing life surrounded them? I sure hope so. We'll craft this "story of our lives" together. It will romantic. It will be a fairy tale. We wil be a big fish who's legend lives on long after we are gone.

"P.S. I Love You" - how anyone doesn't think this movie is the most uplifting movie ever i have no idea. How can anyome not be touched by a love story that goes beyond physical life? How can anyone not see that even after passing he knew that he had to care for her. To coach her into the next phase of her life. Because even in death she was still important to him and having her be happy was all he cared about? I am literally tearing up right now. I wilk take care of you forever my love. No matter how i have to accomplish it - no matter how it needs to be done.

"Superman" - ok this one is obvious. Needed a superhero rference and I got one. I will go to my grave believing in my super powers. My ability to accomplish anything. My ability to bear the burdens of the world for you if i have to do so. You give me superpowers like Superman. Your love powers me to feats i never imagined. Needed a superhero movie. Got one.

I couldn't thinkmof a good chick flick to mention, but you know how I love them. Not becuase they are chick flicks but becuase they all have one thing in common. They end happily. Which is all I want out of life. Our continued happy ending.

So with that in mind here is a summary of my life the movie. Its is simple. Boy meets girl. Girl changes boy's life. Boy changes girls's life right back. Boy and girl have a lifetime of adventures together. Boy and girl are inseperable. Boy and girl shar funny memories for decades. Boy and girl can't keep their hand off one another. Boy cherishes girls. Girl makes boy a better person for it. The ending is happy. The ending is memorable. The ending is perfect.

So if my life was a movie you would be the co-star. Maybe my life is kind of like a movie after all. Every day a new happy ending.

Finally on a totally seperate note. I read something romantic the other day and all I can remember was this phrase..."I can feel you breathing for me my love" - I feel that way about you all the time.

You're the world to me. I love you more than anything in the world.
