I just finished watching this movie and found it amazing.  Of course it didn't make ME cry because no animals were dying or sick in it.  But I can see how many others would...including my husband.  Haha.

These were the lovely bones that had grown around my absence: the connections - sometimes tenuous, sometimes made at great cost, but often magnificent - that happened after I was gone.  And I began to see things in a way that let me hold the world without me in it.  The events my death brought were merely the bones of a body that would become whole at some unpredictable time in the future.  The price of what I came to see as this miraculous lifeless body had been my life.  -Susie Salmon, The Lovely Bones
