When I was 19 I had already been through a lot in life, losing my mother at 10 and at 12 going through the upheavel of suddenly having a new home, town, and a Step Mom and 2 new step brothers, my teenage years weren't that great. I had become hard to my emotions, burying them somewhere in the back of my mind where I couldn't let the pain of bringing them up hurt me. I couldn't understand why people got teary eyed watching movies or commercials - please - it's just a movie or ad. Then when I was 19 I saw The Color Purple, and I've been a tear-eyed sap ever since.
Here's a little Sunday morning gospel for you, from The Color Purple. If you've never seen the movie, Shug Avery, the singer in the yellow dress and her father, the preacher in the church, have been estranged for many years and he has refused to see her. It's a very touching moment when he hugs her. This scene like many others in the film still makes me cry every time I see it. Yup, I'm a sap.
You might want to turn it up.
