Les Mis

Yep, we saw it!
Amazing, as usual. 
I still like the version on stage better, but I think it is such an inspired story.
The music is wonderful.
We took Parker.
I am still wondering if that was a mistake?
It was PG-13 and I usually don't let my kids watch those.
However, he had seen the stage version a few times, so it seemed harmless.
But, the reality of the story is portrayed with more realism on the screen than on stage.
My poor eleven year old had a difficult time.
He liked the story, but couldn't handle the death.
We closed his eyes for Lovely Ladies and Master of the House so he could miss the "women" scenes.
The three of us were bawling by the end of it.
Parker tried to claim his eyes just hurt, but we know how hard it was for him.
But, we know when we die who will be there to meet us.
Our favorite relative, Ethan.
I can't emphasize enough how great the story is!
To love another person is to see the face of God.
The ending line: Tomorrow Comes!
Tomorrow does come and we can't wait to meet ours :)
