Into the Woods...

I'm with your parents, my sweetheart, and it's the day after Christmas. Tonight we went to see the film adaptation of the musical Into the Woods. I've never seen the play before but your mom told me it was the first play you were ever in - playing Little Red at the age of 10 - and that they have a video of it I can watch in Davis. Anyway, we went to the movie tonight and I was really loving it. And near the end there's a song, it's a medley with most of the characters called "Finale" and there's a part where the Baker's wife, who has died, comes to him and sings:

"Sometimes people leave you
Halfway through the wood.
Do not let it grieve you,
No one leaves for good.
You are not alone.
No one is alone."

I gasped when I heard those words, those first two lines, my little sweetheart. I gasped out loud sitting there in the dark of the cinema and began to cry and your father reached over and patted me on the shoulder. And my darling, I know you are with me. Always with me. Love you forever...
