Over the past year, Kate has enjoyed very few of the movies we have seen. That was quite a disappointment to me because we have always liked them. In addition, they have offered us another entertainment option besides the various live performances we attend. During the past two to three months, I have been very selective in my movie choices. That has meant we have seen few in that time. I had heard good things about the movie, Darkest Hour. Our friends, the Robinsons had seen it two days ago and highly recommended it. I mentioned it to Kate and told her it was about Churchill during World War II. She immediately reacted positively about seeing it. Yesterday I mentioned it again and asked if she was sure she would like to see it. She confirmed her interest. In itself that isn’t surprising. She has always liked films on historical topics like this one.
This afternoon we saw it, and I am very happy to report that she loved it. I was not only happy that she liked the film but that it signaled that she is still able to appreciate a movie of this nature. That gives me hope that we may find others that will appeal to her. This was the highlight of my day.
