Charlie and Me

I don't want to die wondering.
Nobody should die wondering.
I have been wiping my tears for two consecutive Sundays.
They said, tears are wounds that heart can't express.
Maybe it's true .......
I don't cry easily.
But I can easily cry when something, someone touched my heart.
Last Sunday afternoon - after having lunch - I watched this film on TV called "Charlie and Me". Maybe some of you have watched it.
It's a 2007 film, about a twelve year-old Casey and her beloved grandfather Charlie.

After a severe heart attack, Charlie (played by Tom Bosley) ties up loose ends in his life by spending more time with his granddaughter Casey(Jordy Benattar) and helping his son (James Gallanders) recover from the death of his wife and reconnect with his daughter.
It's not a movie that full with sad scenes. It is just a heartfelt movie, especially the dialogues or some of the scenes which are funny and happy but it made you shed your tears instead.
Charlie is the kind of man who lives his life to the fullest, even though after his wife passed away. He said:
I live my life as if this is heaven, now I am going home.
Hmmmmmm, I wonder whether I am ready to go home. But I know I'll die wondering if I die now.
