Memories of “Little Women”

 As you read this, listen to the YouTube soundtrack of Little Women, as it will take you to that place of old and  bring back memories of your own.

Every time I watch “Little Women”, it brings back my fondest memories of my sisters and mom.

My mom, sister (Kristen), and I made a special trip to Portland to see this movie in December of 1994.  I remember it being a cold day as we walked into the warm, huge, and packed theater.  The sense of warmth of the theater, and  all the people made me know that this was going to be a special movie.  And must I say, that was the most comfortable theater chair I ever sat in!

Once those opening credits started, I started having goosebumps just from the beautiful and powerful music! 

Then being taken away to a world that I never been before, for I had never read the book. 

 We laughed…

and cried…

…and was quite frustrated that Laurie and Jo never married!  Come one!  Oh well!

 Seeing this movie with my mom and sister was a memory I will never forget !

Every time I watch this family of women, it brings back memories of my mom, sisters and I.  There were special and sweet moments; and there were moments that were not so sweet.  But all those moments we shared together brought us to be the women we are today, as it was for Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There are quite a number of similarities when I compare the March girls with my sisters and I. 

~ Jo is like Mariel.  Very confident and feisty, but has a soft heart.

~ Meg is very much like Kristen.  She has always had a quiet, modest way about her.

~ Amy?  Well, you can say that would be me.  The baby who always wanted to do what her sisters where doing; and can be quite feisty herself.

~ Beth seemed to exude all of us in one or the other.  We all had a shy side about us, and would rather be in the background then in the spotlight.

As Jo says,… “I could never love anyone as I love my sisters!”
