This quote stood out to me when they had the Top of the Track movie and showed "Up" (Side note: The group "Strive" from the high school wanted to have a fundraiser for the Hayden M. Smith Memorial Scholarship Fund and asked us to choose one of the movies off of your top 50 list of movies. There were very few PG options, so we chose "Up"-still a great choice though.They set up the local inflatable movie screen at the HS Auxiliary Field and charged $5 admission and sold concessions.) I have seen the movie before but I had never noticed how much it focused on the death of a loved one when Carl lost his wife Ellie. They had a long happy life together but he was still having a hard time with it.
To make a long story short, the quote I am referring to is this one that Ellie wrote in her adventure book after Carl noticed (by accident) that after the stuff that she had in it from when she was a kid, she added all of the pictures of her and Carl's life together and added at the end: "Thanks for the adventure - Now go have a new one! Love, Ellie." Originally I was thinking that this was like you telling me this, but I just realized today that I could be telling this to you too. (Or us/we as it applies).
P.S. I had a thought later that maybe we could include this on your headstone-that would be extra cool if it was in the same writing that Ellie wrote it in the movie (this is mostly a note to remind myself of this idea).
