Earlier tonight I was watching Mr Holland's Opus, and I must have needed a good happy cry, because I bawled my eyes out. It wasn't until the very end scene that I registered the similarities between Mr. Holland and someone very important in my life. That person is Dr. Roger Sobel. Dr. Sobel has been in my life since I've existed, or so I choose to believe, since he has been there as far back as I can remember. My first remembered memories were of when I was a year and a half old. Dr. Sobel is the orthopedic doctor who performed all my surgeries, which have been many, between that of 10-12 somewhere. I could never imagine my life without him having been in it, I still can't, and that's where I tend to tear up a lot lately, almost everyday, because he just like Mr Holland is retiring at the end of this month. :( :( :( :( :(!!!!
Just the same as the last scene in the movie said, Dr. Sobel's life was never misspent. He is not rich or famous, except to those whose life he has been a part of. He is one of my greatest heroes to whom I always will hold very close in my heart. No amount of words, for the rest of my life, can truly explain just how very thankful and blessed I am to have known him, and to have him play an extremely intricate role in my life. :) From the very depths and every inch of my soul, it has been an honor. :) By him just simply stepping into my life all those years ago, he profoundly changed, and in the long run, SAVED my life by truly giving me the gift of life. He will be deeply missed, but never forgotten. ♥ WITH LOVE, ALWAYS!!..Here's to you, Dr. Sobel, CHEERS!!... ♥
I have never seen that movie! But what a moving relationship you've had with your doc :) I've been crying all weekend - watching too much Disney! Tarzan (SO SAD!!!) --> Sword in the Stone (not so sad) --> Princess and the Frog (sad parts) --> Mulan (I almost cried quite a few times!!!)
ReplyDeleteThanks for liking my blog! :) I like reading yours too for updates since you moved away. It took me forever to give into doing a blog, because I wasn't sure whether it was even really worth doing, or if people even cared to read them. There are so many different sites and ways of doing them, but I like this one! :)
ReplyDeleteYou should really see that movie, it's so well done! I think it was nominated for and or won best picture and actor when it came out. It's So good! You definitely will tear up when watching it! :)
