ditto...when he puts the letter on her grave at the end...dang it.

You died on a Saturday morning. And I had you placed here under our tree. And I had that house of your father's bulldozed to the ground. Momma always said dyin' was a part of life. I sure wish it wasn't. Little Forrest, he's doing just fine. About to start school again soon. I make his breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day. I make sure he combs his hair and brushes his teeth every day. Teaching him how to play ping-pong. He's really good. We fish a lot. And every night, we read a book. He's so smart, Jenny. You'd be so proud of him. I am. He, uh, wrote a letter, and he says I can't read it. I'm not supposed to, so I'll just leave it here for you. Jenny, I don't know if Momma was right or if, if it's Lieutenant Dan. I don't know if we each have a destiny, or if we're all just floating around accidental-like on a breeze, but I, I think maybe it's both. Maybe both is happening at the same time. I miss you, Jenny. If there's anything you need, I won't be far away.

I'm getting weepy just reading it. On the real.

I cry when he meets his son- EVERY SINGLE TIME. 'Course I cry at the drop of a hat so.... There are so many truly deep moments in the movie-such intense and crushingly accurate actions by the characters... Jenny especially seems to always do EXACTLY what you do not want her to do- and yet somehow you still love every one of them and it is always funny at just the right moment so that it is not overly depressing. It really is an amazing story to be able to tie together such a broad range of emotion.

Good one! When he's in that cemetery and tells his wife "Am I good man?" or whatever he says ....that gets me every time as well - I can see my grandpa in that situation.
