Try some; it's good.

What would you do...
...if you knew your husband was going to die, and there wasn't a single thing you could do to change the outcome?

That's the question posed in the Sandra Bullock movie Premonition. I saw it tonight, and holy crap, talk about having your heart ripped out and stomped. This movie is a tearjerker. Seriously, first thing I did after watching that was hug my husband like a hundred times.

What would you do, though? If you knew beforehand. Imagine knowing you were going to lose the man you've loved for lo these many years, the man whose smile still makes your heart skip, who brings you flowers unexpectedly, or brings home burritos so you don't have to cook. How would you spend those last days and moments with him before watching him drive away forever?

Warning -- thinking about this hurts and may make you cry

I'll try to enjoy every second I'm with him.

I can't think about it. There are times when it comes up in some way and it's too much to even deal with.

I started crying again, like an hour after I watched this, and ran back out to give him more hugs and kisses. He was terribly amused, and I was like, "WHAT?"

"Just haven't seen a movie affect you like this before, honey."

Yeah, yeah, I know.

No. I absolutely refuse to watch a Sandra Bullock movie. And you can't make me.

Now imagine sending him off to fight in the desert every two years and having that feeling for about six months to a year straight. And being unable to hold him or touch him or even see him most of the time.

Oh wow, I'm sorry, Lorelie. Is he gone right now? What about the baby? How are you doing?

I gotta go hug someone.

no, no, no - not gonna watch it, not gonna think about it. i'll fall into one of those funks and you guys won't hear from me for years. Covering my eyes, ears and mouth, trying to prevent the thought from taking hold....

Naw, he's still here for now. But he's due to go in October and he's been twice before - once for seven months and once for twelve.

Baby's fine. I'm apparently in some half-assed kind of labor that could keep going like this for a week or have me spitting out the kid tonight. So who knows.

I refuse to watch this movie. I lost my brother two years ago next week and watched his window grieve. I can not - can not! - imagine suffering like that. There is no way I can sit through that movie and not heard my sister-in-law's cries echo in my mind and tear out my heart.

I looked up the spoilers on Wikipedia and I don't think I can bring myself to watch this film.
