And show him my love in ways he allows
If he should light on me
That's my grace
So proud of him!
Watching Free Willy with my son was an experience to cherish. I had to hug him close and wipe the silent tears that ran down his cheeks, as he grappled with the fact that Jesse had been abandoned by his mother. That shook him. Also the killer whale, and its terror at the kids banging at the glass, and its cruel separation from its own family.
He feels so much for misunderstood people and creatures. He asked me at least 10 times, "are you sure this has a happy ending?"
It turned out to be a half happy ending for my son - whale got to be with his family but Jesse had to part from him.
And so it is with life.
At the end he said 'second time I watch I will know what's going to happen so I won't cry!' We will see I guess.
