Just back from Minnesota where I had a terrific visit with family and friends.  I thank you for all the comments about the Book of Love, and a heartfelt thanks to the participants.  I shared it with my parents and they were just as moved as I was to feel the love you have surrounded us with.  xo

    No doubt, one of THE coolest things I’ve heard. Talk about sensitive…the sensitivity and understanding all the aspects of these special showings demonstrates is awesomely heartwarming. Kudos to everyone involved. Glad to hear you had a great visit and hope everyone is well. Welcome home! oxox

    This is a really great idea…. I have not been able to bring my daughter to the movies yet because the loud soundtrack scares her.. glad to know they might offer more of this!

    Hello Michelle,
    we’ve just seen the movie on friday !
    Just my kind of stuff and also for my kids ( even Aran : he had no sensitivity problems this time, but I experience that he’s able to cope more with things like this when he’s really motivated.
    Afterworths we went to Pizzahut and that was enough for him. He wanted to go home as soon as possible… but hey, we went together both to the movies ànd a restaurant ! )
    I like to see movies on full screen in the theatre, but I don’t like all the people and the noises around me…. so I hardly go to the movies anymore and wait until the movie is on DVD, but Harry Potter was a bit too hard to resist…
    I like the idea of the adapted versions of the movies : whoever thought of this is a real sensitive person !
    greetings from Belgium

    That is awesome! They should do that for more than just Harry Potter. Maybe it’ll catch on at other theaters, too.
    Glad you had such a good trip home!
