People who know me know I'm a cry baby so let me run down the places in the movie that made me cry and why:
1. When Catherine is talking to her mom in the very beginning and says something like "I wish I could talk to you...I miss you." Her mother suffered a stroke and is present and alert but cannot speak. This broke my heart because I can't imagine the pain of having someone in your life, the ability to touch them, see them, and not be able to communicate with them. I also think about how present God is and how he communicates to us daily yet we either don't notice it or don't respond. I never want to take any relationship for granted.
2. The car accident scene where the onlookers jumped in to help the 4 firefighters get the car off the train tracks. Unity really stirs my heart. People working together, giving their all, for a common purpose. Wow. Shivers all up my arm.
3. Caleb reading the divorce paperwork. Holy cow this needs no explanation. What a great actor.
4. Where Catherine discovers who really paid for the medical equipment her mother needed. The brokenness that comes with realizing how much you have to be thankful for, how very wrong you are, how much they really have changed and how much you do forgive them can be so overwelming.
5. The song "While I'm Waiting" by John Waller that plays in the background as Caleb continues fighting to win back the heart of his wife.
While I’m waiting
I will serve You
While I’m waiting
I will worship
While I’m waiting
I will not faint
I’ll be running the race
Even while I wait
6. When Catherine wants to accept Jesus as a result of the changes in Caleb. When you live your life as a thank you to God it should impact others in an eternal way.

Yea - I glad you loved it! I'm kinda glad I didn't see it with you though. I cry when other people cry and I would have been a blubbering mess. As it is, I only cried when Caleb apologized on his HANDS AND KNEES. Great moment. :o)
