lots of them, every time I watch this scene in the most recent version of Little Women (Susan Sarandon, Winona Rider, Claire Danes, Kirsten Dunst). I watched it on New Year's Day night and it was just as wonderful as it always is, and I cried even more than usual this time for obvious reasons I think...Beth is dying, Jo is kneeling at her bedside, and Beth smiles and then says:
"Why does everyone want to go away? I love being home. But I don't like being left behind. Now I'm the one going ahead. I am not afraid. I can be brave like you. But I know I will be homesick for you, even in Heaven."

oh, sweet beth. i might just have to avoid watching that (even during winter) for the next 2 years now.
Ah yes. My favorite winter movie (and book) of all time. And I cry at that very line, every time. And I so love reading about your quick Seattle visit! I have never been, but would love to go. And that is quite a coffee shop. Hope to talk to you and see you very soon:)
