Spoiler Alert….
Mid season finale of The Walking Dead, the survivors finally find Sophia the little girl from their group who panicked and runs off. Despite a coordinated search for her, she was virtually right under there noses all along. In a powerful last few minutes of the episode the producers manage to engender sympathy for the "walkers" lost humanity and tragedy at the fate of a little girl.
I know its just a TV show but when an undead Sophia emerged from the barn I burst into tears and cried and cried. The pain of the mother all too real.
A bit of an over reaction on my part but it has been a stressful week or two. The uncertainty of my employment status, the frustration of finding enough time to do everything. But mostly the hurt feelings and grieving over "J" and I's imminent separation proved too much.
I never feel so bad as when "J" and I argue. I did not head down this road blind, I knew where it would lead. Do I wish I never started. Yes and No.
If you are wondering how the Christmas party and visit with old friends went, good but more about that tomorrow.
Hugs,
April

I also had tears welling up in my eyes when Sophia stepped out of the barn, and the cruel irony of the situation hit me like a freight train... only moments before, they had shot Hershel's wife and step-son, and others who were someone's loved one, and now that same shoe was on their foot. And after all of that time spent looking for her.
ReplyDeleteI watched part of "The Talking Dead", and they were saying that one idea was to have Sophia initially step out as her living self, and then have her appearance change as the reality set in. I think that would have been much more cruel for those of us who really got into the show this season.
I'm definitely looking forward to February.
