Oh man, just watched the whole thing. Brutal.

I don’t remember it being this sad before I had kids. When he goes back home after realizing the glimpse is about to end and kisses the kids goodbye got to me.

Yup. This is what I was saying.

I first saw this before I had kids but was married, and I really liked it and I felt it was sad, but I still felt ok because he did eventually realize what he truly wanted was a life with Tea Leoni. Not having kids at the time, I didn't feel that loss.

But now? Ugh... Even thinking about having my life ripped from me and my kids, my past with my wife, all wiped clean and virtually impossible to recreate?
