Wednesday Writing Prompt: Rituals

SpotlightJune 5, 2013776Views 0Likes 0Comments

One of my favorite moments in the Pixar movie Up is when little Russell is thinking back to a particular tradition he had with his father after his parents divorced. It's a heart-felt, heart-breaking, sincere moment between the two of them, after Mr. Fredricksen asks whether his dad had ever taken him camping. He hadn't, but this…
