Profound?

My wife and I enjoyed a movie together tonight. "Reign Over Me", a movie with Adam Sandler and Don Cheadle (spelling?). As we watched it there were wonderful things happening. People caring for other people. People going through tremendous pain. People finding their way through dark times. People finding healing in marriage, grief, and lonliness. I noticed that the dialouge was true to the way people actually talk. The S___ word, the F___ word, refrences to sex. My wife and I laughed and cried together, in some ways identifying with the story.

I have deleted two paragraphs trying to say what I want to say with out getting into trouble. So forget it. Kim and I had a great time tonight. Then she sat down and read "The Shack". I could hear her crying out in front of the wood stove. I sat down here to try to say some incredibly profound thing and realized that the profoundness is in the little things. Don't miss those moments. They can sneak by you. Go hug your wife or husband. I think my brother Nate is the only one who reads this anyway. You don't have a husband so just go hug Tammy and the kids...Pete
