50/50

My wedding anniversary is this week. My parents took my older son to Charlotte with them to visit my sister, and today my friend watched the baby for a few hours so Dave I could go out. We got some lunch, did a little window shopping, then went to the movies. We saw 50/50. I'm surprised how much I laughed, but unsurprised how much I cried (a lot!) I am kind of surprised about which scene it was that set me off. *spoilers* when Adam drops a drunk Kyle off at his apartment the night before surgery and Adam finds a book in Kyle's bathroom about helping a friend through cancer. He thumbs through it and it's well-worn with passages underlined. I have no idea why that touched me so much. The bonds of friendship or whatever. *end spoliers*

So then we went to pick the baby up and it turns out he spent almost the entire four and a half hours crying for my friend. I guess separation anxiety is here. Luckily my friend is a home daycare provider, and is pretty well used to that type of thing.
