First let me wish you all a very special Independence Day! It's all about earning one's freedome from whatever tyrany you suffer under, and a very Autobot sort of holiday.

Secondly, it's a very apt day for a funeral. My little niece lasted 99 days before her little body just gave in to her birth defects. She passed away very peacefully, and now she has freedom from the limits of her frail shell here on earth. It's still very sad loosing her. She had such a bright spark about her. But she's healed now, playing in heaven with all the other little kiddos. It's still hard...I don't have words right now

Lastly, I've held badk on writing my own review of ROTF becasue several of the scenes hit me a bit too close to home. I have to give it to Shia - his seizures/attacks were very well acted and almost too real. In fact, I was generally impressed by his acting throughout the whole movie.

So Bluebird is blue, and once I stop sobbing for a while I will try and post a less depressing journal...

And to cheer me up, here is a bit from my favorite country song for this holiday!

Independence Day
(Song by Martina McBride)
Chorus:

Let Freedome Ring!
Let the white dove sing!
Let the whole world know that today is the day of reckoning.
Let the weak be strong.
Let the right be wrong.
Roll that stone away.
Let the guilty pay.
It's Independence Day!
