Okay… yes, agreed about patience. 🙂

Having seen the film, I don’t feel Simba ever cherished being treated special in particular. He and Mufasa just shared a wonderful father-son bond and he loved his father more than anyone and anything else. In fact just before the stampede scene, after Mufasa saves Simba from another dangerous situation and scolds him for putting himself in danger, there’s a really sweet scene of them playing under the stars which affects me as badly as the death scene itself. Simba’s pain touched me because around the time I first watched the movie, my grandfather passed away. I guess those memories come back when I remember it.

I had known Jerry for two and a half years prior to this incident and I never felt the greed to be extra special to her. I knew how much I meant to her and I cherished it… but the feelings of jealousy did not come until much later. I guess as we grew closer, I developed feelings unconsciously and never realized how much she had grown in my heart.
