I’ve written about this movie a few times. my Dad took me to see, Fly Away Home when I was a kid. I clearly remember this and my Dad told me that he had read about it in the newspaper so he wanted to take me to see it. I clearly remember watching this movie with my dad sitting on my right with his arms folded across his chest as he usually sat.
Since my Mom moved in with me at the onset of Covid, I have been purchasing movies that just stay in my TV. That is better for me because I do not possess enough hand strength and control to mess with Blu-rays. We will decide on a movie together and will go halfsies when it comes to payment.
We have ordered a lot of movies in the past year! One movie that I recently have been thinking about is Fly Away Home. We searched Netflix and couldn’t find the movie and then my Mom went into Xfinity. Still not being able to make a decision, she searched for Xfinity to see if Fly Away Home was there. She spoke it into the remote and it was only available to rent or buy. I told her to buy it!
As she pressed the button, she told me, “Oh I’m not helping you pay for it!” I told her that that was OK because, “It’s between me and my Dad!” She chuckled a little bit as we started to watch the movie:
This song by Mary Chapin makes me cry EVERY SINGLE TIME that I hear it because I think of this movie and sitting in the movie theater next to my Dad!
This song plays in the beginning and the end of the movie and I cried both times and my Mom laughed at me both times! She said that I have seen this movie so many times and asked why I am still crying! Through my tears, I simply told her, “It’s between me and my Dad! You wouldn’t understand!” Her look of disbelief made me chuckle through my tears as well but she REALLY doesn’t get it because it’s between me and my Dad!
