Flood Gates

I reserved the movie Precious on Netflix a few months ago and it arrived in the mail back in October.  October was sort of an emotional time for me, purely pregnancy related.  I remember crying at almost every commercial that came on so I decided that watching Precious was too big of a feat to attempt during such a tear-jerky time.  There are certain "markers" in films that are sure to open the flood gates; child abuse, children with down syndrome and overweight kids getting picked on.  I sent it back unwatched.  Recently, I felt a little more in control of myself so again, I reserved the movie and it was delivered yesterday.  Boy was I glad I didn't miss out on that one.  And just to encourage you, I didn't cry.  But maybe Kirk did.
