home from war There is a small chance that my sister will be able to come home for two weeks this August. Nothing is certain at this time, but she is hoping that it will happen. Now as nice as it will be to see her, I wonder if her having to go back a second time will be even harder for her than the first time she left us. The emotional strain might be too much for her or my parents. My brother even suggested that she spend some time in Europe doing some sightseeing rather than coming home. I tried to put myself in my sister's place and I'm not sure what I would do if I were her. Speaking of spending time in war torn zones, I watched the Angelina Jolie movie Beyond Borders today and I wasn't too sure what to think about it. Most of the reviews that I read said that the movie couldn't decide what genre it wanted to be and in the end failed to do any of them. I guess that I kept my expectations low and walked away not having any real opinion of the movie. That might be the definition of damning with faint praise. |
