sister, sister.

i cried watching an old episode of sister, sister today. you know, the old tia and tamara mowry show? lame, right? well, tyrone (i think was his name) was a high school drop out who is now a good mechanic, but he wanted more than anything to get his GED. he failed the pretest, but then worked really hard with the help of tia and tamara to study for the real test.

when he announced that he passed his test, i teared up. for real. the thing is, this isn't a one-time occurrence... i cry at parts of movies that don't even phase other people, but i never connected them before.

a dream realized is a beautiful thing.. something that one longs for so deeply, works so hard for, and then finally it becomes reality. to see that happen moves me so profoundly that i cry. crazy? maybe.

thus, the reason i cried during an episode of sister, sister :)
