Would you die for him?

This weekend I watched the Seventh Sign with Demi Moore. I have never seen this movie from the beginning-I always catch it when Abby (Demi's character) is caught in the hail storm and is rescued by that creepy priest. Since I have only seen the end, it should come as no surprise to me what happens. But for some reason this time around, when Abby answers "Yes" to the Roman Guard when he asks "would you die for him?", and she reaches out to touch her newborn son to give him life, I start to cry-I mean tears falling off my face. I thought the hormones were supposed to have settled down by now!

In the midst of all of this, my sweet boy Lucas is on his play mat on his side looking at me. When I glance over at him, he gives me this smile as if to say, "It's OK Mom. I know you would do anything for me. But right now I just need you to love me." And how could anyone deny him that.
