Watching the Dead

I was thinking the other day about watching old home videos. Something that might be really fun and make you laugh as you watch a younger less experienced version of yourself.

I thought about digging out old videos but I have no idea if I would be able to watch my dad on film. Alive. Talking. Laughing. Why does that seem so CREEP-AY to me??? Would I just be torturing myself? Part of me really wants to watch though. Just to remember.

I thought about Bernie Mac. He has a couple children and died at a young age. How do his children cope with that? Do they watch his movies when they miss him?? Listen to his stand-up? Is that a really mean thing to do to yourself?

I guess we'll see. I think I will have to find them and watch, just to remember. I can always press stop.
