Tonight, Wendell and I decided to thumb through the Netflix documentaries and came across a couple we tried to watch but were very BORING. The poor guy fell asleep, so I figured since I was already sitting there I'd thumb through and see what I else I could find while I rubbed his feet. I came across one called "Dear Zachary: A letter to a son about his father". It looked pretty interesting so I gave it a whirl and proceeded to watch. I did NOT expect to watch what I just watched. DAMN.
All I can say is...WOW. :-O
This review I read sums it up what my heart and brain are feeling:
"One of the best documentaries I have ever seen in my entire life... a film that will rock you to your core. You will cry. You will hurt – and this film will sit with you for days, weeks, months. But you will come away believing in people. Believing that even where there is evil, there is also a tremendous amount of good." (yup!!!)
I just...I dunno...I keep shaking my head and wiping tears from my eyes. This movie also gave me a personal answer and a sense of peace to something I had been grappling with in my heart and praying about for years. Amazing. :love:
Anyone else seen this documentary???
nope, I have not seen it.
your review has inspired me to download it and see it.
Thanks for the recommendation.

Yer Welcome, Peter. 🙂
I want to watch it again but now that I know what it is about I need to watch it again to take in the parts I missed while I was shedding tears and stunned. It IS that good.
I haven't seen the Doc, but 48 Hours or one of the news shows did a piece about it a couple of weeks ago telling the story. I was so pissed at the events that happened. You are right. It sits with you for a while. Those are some STRONG parents. I think I would have crawled into my own grave if I had endure that kind of suffering.

Ohhh I want to see that 48 hours show!!! Pissed is putting it mildly, huh Snoop!!
I tell ya...when my daughter was kidnapped (long story) I thought I was going to DIE. The grief, puking, shakes, chest pain, etc... was overwhelming. I wanted to DIE myself and if the circumstances were different I would have killed myself easily, but I knew I had to stay strong and keep alive and survive for HER. It took everything in me to survive but I did although I probably lost 10-15 pounds those first days. Had I never seen her again I would have crawled into my own grave too.
That pain of missing/losing a child is one of THE worse pains a human can ever endure and feel. I wanted to just grab those parents right through the TV and cry with them and hold them tight and try to make it OK. It still gets me right in the heart. :love:
Wendell & the kid watched it with me tonight. I think I cried more this time than last time cause I knew what was coming. It really got to Wendell, too. I'll let him leave his own comments though.
