***Warning*** No baby pictures***If that's what you're looking for give up on this one****
I just watched both the worst and best show on television.
The show is called Coming Home and is on Lifetime (oh Lifetime how i love thee). You should all watch it if you can make it through the previews. Seriously this show had me like this:
I cried watching the 30 second preview for the show. Coming Home is a show about soldiers coming home from war and surprising their children.
Seriously I was bawling, shaking uncontrollably, and sobbing all at once. Tissues couldn't even help. These little kids get so surprised when their dad pops out around the corner and the little voice just says, "Daddy?" and you melt down. You seriously have no soul if you don't at least tear up while watching this. My favorite one was the high school football star that was doing a press conference about his college choice. Dad had been overseas for his whole senior year and dad came around the corner and yelled, "That's my boy!" The 18 year old boy started sobbing. So good!!!!!!!
This has made me think of my all time favorite movies, shows, books that give you a good cry....
1. Stepmom
When Susan Sarandon finally lets Julia Roberts in and Julia tells her that she fears during Anna's wedding day she will look down and say, "I wish my mom was here." and Susan says, "My fear is she won't." AHHH, tearjerker!
2. Let's Roll
Ok Most of you probably haven't ever heard of this book but it's a good one. It's written by a wife of one of the victims of the flight 93 crash during 911. It has transcripts from phone calls made to families before the crash. Heartbreaking. If you read it, get a box of lotion tissues because you're nose will be raw from wiping.
3. Extreme Makeover Home Edition
Even though Ty Pennington is cracked out, this show still tugs at your heartstrings
4. My Sister's Keeper
The book...not the movie. The movie is ruined by Cameron Diaz's presence because all you can think of is her role in There's Something About Mary
The book however is way better. Even though I was completely pissed off at the way it ended, you can't help but get that relief feeling after a good cry.
5. The Notebook
How can you not love this one? Probably one of the best chick flicks ever. I mean Ryan Gosling won over all females and everyone forgot about his terrible performance on The Mickey Mouse Club.....ha ha not me Ryan...I never forget.
The notebook will definitely become a classic and the ticket for guys for years to come to get into a girls pants. Such a good movie though!!!
I'm sure I've forgotten some great other tearjerkers. What is your favorite movie/show/book that makes you cry?
Finding Nemo
ReplyDeleteDo you remember when we went to Hilton Head and we went to the airport to pick up Jenn. Those kids were hugging their grandma and we were both sniffling!?
ReplyDeleteAnd I totally change the channel when those Coming Home previews are on. I will NEVER watch that show.
And to add to your movie list, My Girl and Homeward Bound. SAD.
Oh I almost forgot about the airport!!! We were both turned away from each other so that we wouldn't see the other tearing up!
