Okay this made me cry so much even though it was the second time I was watching this movie.
I suppose you’ll need to watch the whole movie to understand it.
Socks represented not just a pet, but the many important people we often take for granted in our lives. Our mothers, our fathers, our grandparents, our best friends, our sisters and brothers, all the people we often forget have always been by our sides.
“I never thought 10 years would feel this short.”
We often let time pass without realising it, and soon, we’re all grown up, with the child in all of us a figment of our imagination. As we grow too rooted into reality, we sometimes forget about the simple things in life that can make us smile.
And when the time comes for us to say goodbye, are we really ready to say it?
It’s so sad ):
The thing is, even for us now, there’s even less time available to do what we want to. For those who are still oblivious to the little time left, they still feel quite alright as they’ll only face the blow when the person leaves his life.
What about those people like you and me who are already aware, but cannot do anything about it at all? Be it social norms, expectations, schedules and so on – I think in the face of all these factors, many would not have the courage to say how much they like this friend of theirs and how they have appreciated his company (be it short or for many years).
I guess it would be more painful for us to see them gradually slipping off while we can only stand aside to watch. The feeling of helplessness isn’t nice ><
Uh, frivo, but if it were christmas every day, christmas wouldn’t be magical (:
