sea (of tears) inside

**warning, spoilers**
In the 1990s, a Spanish man who'd been a quadraplegic for over 20 years was finally able to achieve his dream: to die. He'd asked the government for permission to receive euthanasia but it was consistently denied. Ramon Sampedro was a writer and rather popular with the ladies, despite his handicap, and his character was interesting enough to carry a 2 hour film. Most of the movie was touching and sweet and funny but toward the end I started to feel for his family, especially his father. When Ramon was in the van saying goodbye to everyone else, his father was upstairs sitting by his bed, looking so sad and alone. That was when the sea inside was unabashedly gushing from my eyeballs. The very end was the saddest and most bitter part. His friend and lover who suffered from a degenerative disease had forgotten him and was slowly wasting away because her husband could not let her go.
