this is one of my favorite opening scenes to a movie. watching this everytime puts me in a rare mood that's difficult to describe; i suppose it's one that's both euphoric and serene, and a bit nostalgic at the same time. and for some reason, i'm left wanting to thank someone, just because.
the first time i saw this allowed me to let go whatever remained of a growing distemper seeded inside me. i can only assume the reason for that was because of who i was with. i didn't know her well, not in the way i know her now, but i was thankful just the same: for what i had been through, for what she had been through, and just because.
i must admit it's difficult sometimes -- she being there, my being here. things of this significance always are, especially when nothing can be taken for granted. but i know if we can make it to the last time i'm one of those people waiting at the airport on her final trip back home, everything will be just fine...
