“Never turn your back on family, even when they hurt you.”
I lost my Grandmother earlier this year, it was the first time in my life where I’ve been through a situation like this and was old enough to understand. She was sick for the last couple months and we were caring for her but her passing came so suddenly that nobody in my family expected it. Most of us gathered together to mourn her loss, some of us were in pain while others were crying. The news of her passing came so suddenly that I wasn’t able to truly process the situation and understand how
...
to feel about it. I felt guilty but I felt that that I should’ve been more emotional about it.
This was something that I never discussed with anybody, neither on Twitter nor in real life so I hid my feelings from almost everybody. Our family soon got over this but it was a huge loss for all of us. So when watching Summer Wars months later, seeing a huge family love and care for each other under the watch of their loving Grandmother really struck a chord with me. However it wasn’t until halfway through where something happens and it hit me hard. I was finally able to express the emotions that I wanted to feel when I heard the news of my Grandmother. I related to these characters pain and I cried along with them. I related to them so much even through our situations are very different. It made me cry but I was also happy that this movie did this to me because it finally brought things into full circle.
This is a movie that I didn’t expect to need in my life but I’m so happy that it is. I doubt that many of you would love this movie as much as I did as I probably would’ve rated this lower if I didn’t relate to it so much but I saw it at the right time in my life. I’m so happy that I saw it and for what it did to me.
