Can't believe if I forgot to say DH makes me cry a lot, every time I read it, particularly the end when Harry learns the truth about (dying) Snape, and when Harry has to go face Voldemort and his parents and Sirius and Lupin go with him ...Snape's childhood, and Snape's death, in fact I have a lump in my throat just thinking about it..., and everything at the end of the 6th book.
Something similar to that used to happen to me, but it wasn't a commercial, and it didn't even have any words. It was on PBS and I don't know what it was, cuz they don't have commercials, but it aired quite a bit, and it had short, short clips of immigrants coming to America, black and white film, of people on boats and in New York harbor or whatever. There was one little boy, he was clutching a tiny American flag in front of him, obviously still on the ship because the wind was whiffling the flag, and he looked, not happy, maybe, nervous ... just the sight of him would bring tears to my eyes. God knows where he was coming from, and I'm sure he didn't know where he was going to, but he had his little flag -- I'm getting tears in my eyes just thinking about him.I was watching TV tonight and there is this new "Pampers" commercial advertising how if you buy them, you help give vaccines to babies so they dont die of tetnaus....and then they tell you that like hundreds of babies dont live to see their first birthday because of the disease.
