As I hinted at earlier, it was quite the emotional episode of Six Feet Under last night... I didn't quite make it through unscathed. Now, I don't cry at the drop of a hat (i.e. a commercial) but I am certainly not the most stoic person either.... so here are the moments where I either lost it and almost lost it.
In order to make this post as "spoiler free" as possible, I have "whiten-ed" out the text. Now don't look TOO close, I realize my background is grey... so one can detect a hint of the actual text.
Just highlight the text (run and hold your cursor across the hidden text) in order to read the actual moments:
ALMOST LOST IT - Ruth enters the room where David is washing Nate's body
LOST IT - Ruth washes Nates hair
ALMOST LOST IT - Anytime Ruth cried... period.
ALMOST LOST IT - Claire speaking of when Nate didn't want to be interviewed for her class project
ALMOST LOST IT - Rico's eulogy of Nate
LOST IT - David's eulogy of Nate
LOST IT BIG - Ruth walks David to the gravesite, Keith meets him halfway
ALMOST LOST IT - The men lower Nate into the grave
LOST IT - Claire help the men lower Nate into the grave
LOST IT BIG - Family starts shoveling dirt into grave
ALMOST LOST IT - Brenda breaks down and collapses in Billy's arms
ALMOST LOST IT - Brenda drops off Maya at the Fishers

I have a similar post about last night's QAF final episode. Cheesy, I know... But it was a night for raw, exposed nerves. And tears. Quite a few tears here too, during both shows.

OMG - I "lost it" so many times! My "almost lost it's" would have been more if a certain someone (& I don't think it's too much of a stretch to figure it out) kept coming into the room (even though he doesn't watch the show)to put his smiling face directly in front of me to see if I was "losing it" at any given moment after he read your "lost it's" Sheesh! Can't a guy get a good cry on now & then?
