Seriously??? Who's stupid ass idea was that?

Hmm well see that is a really hard question to answer, ok honestly it isn't really but in order to save face I will just say that it may or may not have been my idea.  What might have or might not have been your idea you are probably asking.  Well that would be to watch "A little bit of Heaven" tonight on Netflix.   (Movie synopsis below) 

Let me just stop there and say unlike many many people and critics, I actually liked the movie.  Yes there are some people that are all pissed off about the portrayal of a terminally ill cancer patient and yada yada yada but HELLO IT IS HOLLYWOOD! They never said it was based on a true story.  But to those people on the contrary there are people that keep their hair after treatment, that laugh and love their way through cancer and my Grandma was one of those people.     

So, no the stupid idea is NOT due to the movie being a waist of my time like the Nicole Kidman/Kate Hudson musical "Nine" which was 2 hours of my life I'll never get back, but because it of course made me think of my family a that has all passed away living life this exact way.  Grandma P knew she was terminal but spent her time laughing, loving and opening her heart and mind to others.  Grandma D was the exact same way, though she never told us she knew her time was soon and she loved with all her heart and lived the rest of her days exactly as she liked. Then there is Stacy, who smiled through it all. Who though she was suffering so much, knew she had things to say and do.  She lived those last months exactly as she wanted and even though she said things she shouldn't have we all knew it wasn't her saying them, it was fear...just like this movie.  Though in the end not all of her hard planning was followed through, I am pretty certain she is looking down and is still smiling.

Need I say I laughed and cried through the whole movie and are now up still at midnight blogging instead of sleeping with a sleeping child in the bed above me and a sleeping cat on my leg.  This is why it was a stupid idea...I've been crying enough lately didn't need this...or did I?

Here is the synopsis: Marley Corbett, a carefree woman with a promising career, great friends, and witty sense of humor, learns that she has terminal cancer. She is told the news by Dr. Julian Goldstein, a successful doctor with a hardened exterior, who is deeply impressed and affected by the way Marley accepts the news of her fate with humor and dignity. The movie opens up on a random day showing Marley heading to work. As the movie unfolds, clues of Marley's illness are shown: unexplained weight-loss, etc. Not even half way through the movie, she learns she is suffering from colon cancer. Throughout the movie, there are scenes that show how carefree Marley's life once was, before the diagnosis. Prior to her diagnosis, Marley thought she had everything she could ever want in life, living in a state of dreamy eternity. Marley makes an appointment for an colonoscopy. While under anesthesia, God appears to Marley as played by Whoopi Goldberg. In her dream, Marley makes three wishes: money, to fly and a third that is later revealed. From there, Marley and Julian find themselves falling in love, and doing their best to make the most of the time they have left.
