Precious moment, precious film.
One of my youngest son's favorite movies is Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. And this photo captures our favorite moment . . . When Charlie, the impoverished child, finds the last golden ticket, because he had faith and hope that this Wonka bar would reveal the treasure beneath it's outer wrapper. And we all know how this story ends, happily!
Tonight, I found my fifteen year old mesmerized, just like he used to get when he was much younger. He knows the movie by heart, can recite each word. He brought so much joy to a very long day. His faith and hope were being acted out on the screen. I think that's why he still loves the movie so much. It is an affirmation of all that is possible, all that can be . . . Wonderful Willie Wonka!
I am grateful tonight as I lay my head on this pillow. How fortunate I am to have this sweet young man in my life. Words simply don't do him, or the depthnof my feeling for him, justice.
Be nTouch!
Yea, Willie Wonka is one of my favorites too. I haven't seen the film in a long time, but every time I do it takes me back.
