The Blindside

I am sure a lot of you have already seen it
-but-
this is one of the most amazing movies I have ever seen!?!
I cried the first time -&- have cried every other time while watching it as well!?!
It is heartwarming movie that just proves
there are still good people!?!


Based on the true story of Leigh Anne and Sean Tuohy who take in a homeless teenage African-American, Michael "Big Mike" Oher!?!
Michael has no idea who his father is -&- his mother is a drug addict!?!
Michael has had little formal education and few skills to help him learn!?!
Leigh Anne soon takes charge however, as is her nature, ensuring that the young man has every opportunity to succeed!?!
When he expresses an interest in football, she goes all out to help him, including giving the coach a few ideas on how best to use Michael's skills!?!
They not only provide him with a loving home, but hire a tutor to help him improve his grades to the point where he would qualify for an NCAA Division I athletic scholarship!?!


Today I am thankful for loving people like the Tuohy's!?!
