What Will Your Legacy Be
The Book of Henry
This last week has been rough for my family and I. Our daughter lost 4 close friends in a fatal car crash and 3 of them were siblings. I won’t put a lot out there because it isn’t my story to tell, but it has made me really think about what is most important in life. The funeral was H.A.R.D. in so many ways, but the families love for God was impressive to say the least. When Henry said, “it’s who we are lucky enough to have in our lives and what we can leave them with. The one thing we do know is that we are here now and we do the best thing we can while we are on this side of the Earth.” It reminded me to decide what is most important in the now and let the rest go, while those 4 kids were taken to early for most of our own liking, God had a plan for them and we all need to remember to help others and be a little more like Henry and the 4 kids.
What will your Legacy be?
SYNOPSIS: Sometimes things are not always what they seem, especially in the small suburban town where the Carpenter family lives. Single suburban mother Susan Carpenter (Naomi Watts) works as a waitress at a diner, alongside feisty family friend Sheila (Sarah Silverman). Her younger son Peter (Jacob Tremblay) is a playful 8-year-old. Taking care of everyone and everything in his own unique way is Susan’s older son Henry (Jaeden Lieberher), age 11. Protector to his adoring younger brother and tireless supporter of his often self-doubting mother – and, through investments, of the family as a whole – Henry blazes through the days like a comet. Susan discovers that the family next door, which includes Henry’s kind classmate Christina (Maddie Ziegler), has a dangerous secret – and that Henry has devised a surprising plan to help. As his brainstormed rescue plan for Christina takes shape in thrilling ways, Susan finds herself at the center of it.
