Yes, I know I ought to have watched this long ago.
Yes, I know that practically everyone has already watched this.
But it moved me to tears, and I cannot not write about it.
The story of a struggle against all odds is always touching, but what truly moved me was love. When is it not?
A child, five years old, willing to keep on going.
A child whose biggest sorrow seems to come from losing a beloved toy.
A child who wonders whether his mother left home because of him.
A child who worships his father, and keeps on going even when he’s tired.
A father who is not perfect. He gets angry, even violent. But he does everything he can in pursuit of happiness.
And in pursuit of happyness for a son who means everything to him.
