Description
My mamma always said, "Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get."
One of the great all time movie lines from one of the great all time movies staring Tom Hanks in as Forrest Gump.
There is a scene in the movie where Forrest sits on a bench waiting for a bus. He has a small suitcase and a box of chocolates. As people come in and out of the scenes, waiting for their bus, he tells them his life story, an incredible journey were a simple man achieves greatness.
This image is a recreation of the bus stop scene and a tribute to Forrest Gump.
The lines below are from a scene where Forrest visits the grave site of the love of his life whom he ends up after years of separation due to current events. She dies shortly after giving him a son that he did not know had been born and came home to introduce him that son to his father.
Forrest Gump: You died on a Saturday morning. And I had you placed here under our tree. And I had that house of your father's bulldozed to the ground. Momma always said dyin' was a part of life. I sure wish it wasn't. Little Forrest, he's doing just fine. About to start school again soon. I make his breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day. I make sure he combs his hair and brushes his teeth every day. Teaching him how to play ping-pong. He's really good. We fish a lot. And every night, we read a book. He's so smart, Jenny. You'd be so proud of him. I am. He, uh, wrote a letter, and he says I can't read it. I'm not supposed to, so I'll just leave it here for you. Jenny, I don't know if Momma was right or if, if it's Lieutenant Dan. I don't know if we each have a destiny, or if we're all just floating around accidental-like on a breeze, but I, I think maybe it's both. Maybe both is happening at the same time. I miss you, Jenny. If there's anything you need, I won't be far away.

Very happy image, I smiled brightly as soon as I saw this! My hubby and I re-watched the movie just a few weeks ago and loved every moment of it. L/F/Tw

I am not a huge movie fan, very selective. However this is the only movie I ever bought so I would have copy of it. My favorite part was when he told the president that he got shot in the but-tocks! lol
