619. “the yearling”

as a little boy
i cried so hard that it hurt
deep down in my throat  🦊❤️
•••
when i ask myself,
“who am i deep down inside”
“the yearling” brings tears… 🦊❤️

I have a vivid recollection of watching the movie “The Yearling” as a small child.  It is a very sad movie about a little boy and his deer. When I saw a video of the old movie in a roadside library hutch my mind went back to that day long ago. I felt the tears well up again in my eyes and the pain grow in my throat as I tried to hold back a quiet sob. Somethings never change… 🦊❤️
