One of my favorite movies is Up. Now in my family this movie hits each of us differently. For our son John, this is the movie he went to see with his grandfather the day his sister was born. For Sharon and me…it’s a loving story of two friends who get married and the enduring love they have for one another, even after death. I even have the “Marriage Theme” from Up as my ringtone for when Sharon calls. Sweet right?
