So today, on the 362nd day of 2015, I finally corrected a parenting wrong. 12/28/15 was the fourth day of Christmas and on this day we, as a family, completed the Original Star Wars movie trilogy. We watched all three together this break, the last two tonight, and I loved seeing my kids' connections with the movie, asking the same questions that I had when I watched them for the first time. Asking me what was going to happen (remarkably I remembered very little of the 3rd one) and enjoying the story and the music. I also enjoyed the connection that the "Force " represents and that, in the end, the family connection was more powerful than evil. I mean, I knew good prevailed, but, honestly, I did not remember the details and I think I enjoyed them more now than I did when I was younger. Perspective helps, I guess. Now we get to see the prequels (the girls want to know why Anakin turns to the Dark Side (I kinda want to know as well) and we can go see Episode 7 in the theaters! GOOD NIGHT!
