this movie has been around for about a ka-billion years .. but believe it or not .. i had NEVER seen it until yesterday! I LOVED IT! What a precious life-lesson! We are all so very important ... have you ever thought how life would be so very different had YOU never been born?
it makes us wonder what 'impact' we have had (negative and positive) on this olde world of ours!
and i believe it is the 'small things' that are the most important!
god love you each and every one! xo, frannie

It was on last night while we were trying to leave to go to visit friends...both dh and I were standing with our coats, hats and gloves on, just staring at the screen. That movie transfixes me everytime!!!! We had to actively turn off the set to get out the door!

That's a Wonderful Life is my husbands favorite movie. We always watchs it . Sometimes not just at Christmas! It is true, if we hadn't been born, so many lives would not be the same. I don't mean to be a downer, but, my daughter and I were talking about that the other day. Only it was how many lives can be affected when someone dies way before their time. Of course we were talking about her sister, my daughter Karin, dying at not quite 16.My granddaughter really feels the loss of never knowing her aunt. My daughter is missing out on her sister. My husband and I said the other day we wonder what she would have done and what our grandchildren would of been like. It is a great lesson to always live life to the fullest and enjoy every moment of it. That is what she did, and we are trying to follow in her footsteps. I hope I didn't make anyone sad, I just get a little
retrospective and a bit weepy sometimes, especially at Christmas.

Wait a minute! People have NEVER seen this movie until recently? Pshaw! I LOVED watching it with my family when I was little, I thought that movie was the FIRST thing people watched....
I love the message too, though I still think my mama would actually have FEWER grey hairs if I wasn't born! 
Aww but see, we all have the ability to affect someone else's life, so let's make the experience positive!
