A movie and a song

Have you ever experienced a moment whereby you were moved to tears by a movie or a song? For me, it was the movie Beaches. In the last scene of the show, Bette Midler's character sings Wind Beneath My Wings with just an overhead spotlight shining on her, and Barbara Hershey's character's daughter looking by the stage side. That scene is so moving it makes me cry (yes I admit, I cry sometimes) everytime I watch it and I never remember crying over a movie before that (not even when ET has to go home) and not since.

Why am I writing this? I've just listened to that song again and for some reason, I felt like crying but this time not because it reminded me of the scene from the show but somehow I just feel sad. Dunno why. Hmm...I think I need to see a shrink soon.

In the meantime, have you recently said thank you to the wind beneath your wings?
