Best job in the world? Going and inspecting those. I'm sure those folks are all nice and will let you quality control.
For the love of god, never watch "Dear Zachery"
I won't even look it up.
So many sad moments in the documentary I watched last night. If you don't want to read some seriously sad stuff...stop here.
I'm still thinking about this documentary, so a bit of venting may do me good. The hardest parts to watch were:
1) The parents talking about the morning of the shooting, and what their kids were doing that morning before school. The one dad said his son woke up early. He told his son he could go back to bed since they have a bit before they have to leave for school, but the little guy wanted to take that time to snuggle with his dad instead. That caused my eyes to swell a bit. There was also a little girl all dressed up for a holiday party. She was sitting on her bed excited and waiting until 7AM so they could go to school. Her dad said they got a special few moments before school just the two of them to sit and talk. He reminded her how much they loved her. At this point, my eyes aren't just swelled up, there are streams of tears falling down my face. Way too reminiscent of the mornings I have with my son. He always wants to cuddle in the mornings.
2) One of the detectives who worked the case (I assume?) did a run through of what happened that morning when the shooting started. There were teachers snuggled up to kids trying to protect them only to be blasted away with the child in their arms. A couple teachers tried to hide the kids in a bathroom. The teachers were killed, then the gunmen shot all but one of the kids to death. I made it through that part ok, it was when the detective started naming all of the victims including the kids. More tears.
3) The final scene that caused my wife and I to tap out was when all the parents that had children at Sandy Hook had to go to a fire station to pick up their children. Time passed, and eventually there was only the parents whose kids didn't survive left. One of the parents spoke about seeing her kid for one last time. They didn't allow her to remove the blanket since one of the teachers was cradling the kid to protect them, but it caused a pretty gruesome scene. The mother said she held his little hand for a long time. At that point, my wife got up crying as hard as I've seen her cry in the past few years. She couldn't keep going, and, honestly, I was about to tap out, too.
