"Your life is an occasion, rise to it." This quote comes from one of my favorite movies of all time: Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium!! I feel like more people should embrace the ideals of this movie and apply them to their lives. After all of the health problems my son, Payden, has had I finally feel like I can understand this quote. But there are great insightful quotes throughout this entire movie that I just love. The first impression that I got from this movie was that it was about a magical toy store and therefore meant for children but upon watching it I realized that this is about so much more than a magical world that every child (and adult) would dream about! It is a must see on my list. I could quote this movie all day long... it inspired me to have the tough conversation about death and dying in general with my 4 year old son. I'm a sucker for great life quotes I suppose. Since this is a free write blog I decided to write on this movie since I just watched it again and would recommend it to parents with young children because it is a beautiful way to explain death to our children. In the movie the main female character is talking to the owner of the store about dying and I thought it was interesting because I don't want my kids to feel like someone who dies is truly gone or rather truly unreachable... "Molly Mahoney: Are you dying?
Mr. Edward Magorium: Light bulbs die, my sweet. I will depart."
Think about it... Oh and laugh about the quote that I posted for my title... makes me laugh every time.
