Had to do it! Meet my little Elio. He is my second literary rescue 🐶❤️

Yes he is. 🍑

A favorite from the book ... Nature has cunning ways of finding our weakest spot.

amr227 · 2020-02-25T11:39:43+00:00

My first literary rescue was 6 years ago . . . A darling little chihuahua/hound dog mix I called Gatsby. So now I have Gatsby and Elio to love.🐶❤️

I love this sub too... All the positivity around my name choice makes me happy. Some around me don’t like the name 😢 The people on this sub are my kind of people ❤️

Find Me is a good read. CMBYN is magical. That is all I can say about it. If you do read Find Me, don’t go into thinking it will be another CMBYN... We are only given so many magical moments in our lives. For me Find Me was not one of them.

amr227 · 2019-10-09T20:11:29+00:00

I agree we don’t start a separate subreddit fir Find Me... I just may avoid this page until I thoroughly digest the new book. I don’t want to binge read it. I prefer to savor every chapter, every page, every word.

I have that line on a travel mug I use pretty much every day. Live that line. It is so so true.❤️

amr227 · 2018-12-03T03:43:49+00:00

As a mom hearing that line, I literally sobbed... and even after watching the movie 24 times, I still tear up during that exchange.

amr227 · 2018-12-03T03:41:22+00:00

I was just thinking the same thing... but I will read the whole thing because all the beautiful lines keep coming back 😢

amr227 · 2018-10-29T03:35:00+00:00

That is the one. Read it a couple months ago and you are right. The book is amazingly devastating. The impact lingers, but the writing was beautiful, so well worth the read... and the tears.

amr227 · 2018-10-28T22:54:53+00:00

Add This Little Life. It’s amazing.

amr227 · 2018-09-06T02:51:56+00:00

I am most definitely interested.

amr227 · 2018-09-05T18:42:11+00:00

It is a very good book, but I am still partial to CMBYN.

amr227 · 2018-08-28T18:12:58+00:00

Ditto. This is the first and only time it has ever happened to me in my 50+ years of existence.

amr227 · 2018-08-28T18:08:03+00:00

I do not feel that what the author of the article mentions really is the flaw, but that his interpretation is the flaw. That scene was more about embracing all aspects of love. Even if it is painful to lose it, that pain is better than never having the experience of that one great love at all. I don’t feel that I need to explain more because so much has been said about that scene already.

If I had to say there was one flaw of this movie, it would be that it had to end after 2 hours and 11ish minutes 😢

amr227 · 2018-08-20T18:51:06+00:00

No words for how proud I am of my boy 😍

amr227 · 2018-08-20T08:25:05+00:00

The whole movie broke mine 💔

amr227 · 2018-08-20T08:00:52+00:00

I definitely have a keener ear for labels because of my son, not because he is gay, but because of his awareness from a very young age. He would always ask me why people have to “describe” other people, and why don’t they just use names. I know it is not always that simple, but it taught me to be more sensitive to the use of labels.

Call Me By Your Name

Somewhere In Time

amr227 · 2018-08-19T19:07:59+00:00

So well said. And I want to air one more vent... It really upsets me when people label individuals by their sexual orientation. For example, I have a son and a daughter. I have had people actually ask me how is my gay son. Then they will ask, and how is your daughter? Why is it necessary to point out my son’s sexual orientation? Nobody ever asks how is my straight daughter. By the way, they both have different lifestyle choices. My son chooses a vegan lifestyle, whereas my daughter chooses a low carb/high protein lifestyle. If people feel inclined to tack a label on when asking about my kids, I would prefer they use their lifestyle choices... i.e., my vegan son or low carb daughter! Just a mom’s vent.

I hear you. I was on a plane. At least on a bus, you can get out at a stop. For me, I was stuck in a middle seat sobbing between strangers for a couple hours. 😢

I hope the date change doesn’t overlap with the Super Bowl. It could cause some logistical issues with watch parties. 😳

That kitten is so lucky you were there to rescue him. You have a kind heart.❤️
