Wall-E

[graciejoe]

We took Lucious, Asia and baby Sophie to see Wall-E yesterday afternoon.  (Ian, Abs and April are in Oklahoma and got to see Kung Fu Panda last week.)  The movie was very good by the way. 

 There was one line spoken by the captain of the space ship that haunted me all night and most of today.  I line spoken to me by my son this morning, before "Good morning." or "I love you, mom."

 Lucious is five  years old, he will be six on the 18th of  July.  I admit that I baby him and I am way more then over-protective of him because of his medical conditions.  He is more vulnerable to certain injuries then other children and on more then one occasion I've not let him go certain places and participate in certain activities for fear of that vulnerability.  I've been told by my mother-in-law that the life he has here on Earth is worth nothing if he can't enjoy it.  I've agreed, and then still refused to allow him to escape the bubble I'd put him in.

 This morning, I hugged my son, with tears streaming down my face I knew his life had to change when he said, "Mom, I don't want to survive, I want to live."
