The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

I watched this movie couple weeks ago and it still haunts me.  It left me so extremely sad and I went to bed bawling because I was distraught.  I couldn't pinpoint why I was so upset by it.  I enjoyed watching Brad Pitt growing younger and at the end saw him looking like he did when he was in the movie 'Thelma and Louise'.  He must have been in his early twenties back then.  Amazing what movie magic can do.  He's like in his mid forties now.  AMAZING.

The movie was beautiful and each character was well acted by amazing actors.  From the movie, I think I'm  overwhelmed how short life is.  That nothing remains the same ... Our bodies are wasting away...  I found it so sad that benjamin left his love and his daughter so to ease their pain and burden but in the end seemed to be such a waste of his  life. I guess, it was a sacrifice.  But then it left his daughter and her mother (his love) estranged..

I don't know just left me feeling so sad and fearful.

How I don't want to waste my time while I'm here.  I keep searching for a higher calling but what more of a higher calling is there to raise God fearing children and to serve my husband faithfully...
