When we were younger Dad would give us each an opportunity go go on a Daddy Daughter Date or a Father Son Date for Ben's purpose. Sometimes these would just entail going down for walks to the river just with Dad and talking. Occasionally we would get to choose a date we could go on with Dad.
One time I got to go to a movie with Dad, I was about 10 years old. I remember scanning the newspapers and getting to choose the movie we went to. I remember there was a good selection and trying to choose one I thought my dad would like too. I finally settled on the movie called Tall Tale.
I remember thinking the movie was amazing! I loved it and never wanted the night to end. When Dad and I got back into the car I remember he asked me if I liked it. To this day I can remember his face as I told him how much I liked it and how I thought it was the best movie I had ever seen. I remember he said, "That was a really good movie." I was pretty sure that Dad had like it too, but as the years went on I always wondered if it was as good as I remembered.
Sometimes I thought I had made up this memory because every movie store/library I went to never even listed the title. I had never heard of anyone else who had ever seen it. Whenever I mentioned it to someone they said they had never heard of the movie.
Well...on May 11th I was down in the basement of Brian's parents house feeding Emily, and I turned to the BYU channel. There on TV was Tall Tale, and it was just starting! And I will have to tell you, It was as good as I remembered it! After watching parts of it (I got too busy taking Bryn to the park to watch it all) and seeing the ending, I know now why I loved and still loved this movie....because it reminds me of my Dad.
