Jimmy

1908-1997

If James Stewart were still alive, today would be his 100th birthday. Happy birthday, Jimmy.

I should probably go watch The Philadelphia Story in his honor. Or It's a Wonderful Life. Which moves me a little more each December. I anticipate that by the time I have my own imperfect little family like the Baileys, I'll be spending my Christmas Eves sobbing.

"...the richest man in town." Sniffle.


And as pointed out by my coworkers, the Jimmy quote of the day should be:

Please! I wanna live again. I wanna live again. Please, God, let me live again.

~George Bailey, It's a Wonderful Life

Everyone should have a dead boyfriend. Or two.
