I love it too - she is an amazing mother. But so sad at the same time - this little clip had me in tears.

I did wonder whether they released balloons. Her and RC always did for her dad,and then each year on his birthday.
I said at the time Rene passed away, there's nothing worse than watching someone you love suffering.  Especially when you all know you're fighting a losing battle. There's a time to fight, but there's a time to let go too. I knew she'd get to that stage. When you are at that stage it helps you deal with everything that follows.
Celine, I am so proud of you.

They used a pic from their photoshoot. Why would they use a pic of her in 97? Makes no sense.

Ok, I love Céline dearly, but why does she tell the details of her last moments with René to the world?
I don't get that...

She's always been an open book.... that's also one of the reasons I love her!

God those videos were soooo touching Celine really thought it through. And you know what she's very very STRONG! I know she is going through a difficult time, but I also know she will survive

Cause she's a mega star and a public figure who pours herself to her fans. One of her favorite lines is "I'm an open book" Are you really that baffled?

Because she needs this. Because we need this. Because thousands of people are going throung the same thing. It can happen with my family, or with yours. Who knows?
She shows very strong way how you can go on with all that. I'm proud so much.

[Xpresso]

I know she's an open book, but this is something intimate between her and René.
She can give general information, but the things she told him at the very end should remain between her and René in my opinion.
We fans don't need to know every single detail.

Because it makes people aware of how those situations go sometimes. Maybe, just maybe you or someone close to you may be in a similar situation. You'll know what she means and why she told people. Watching someone die is one of the hardest things to go through. Being able to accept and let someone go is even harder. There's still that anger inside. But it's powerful, that moment you let them know it's ok for them to leave.
Celine has spoken about private moments before. Her dad dying in Therese's arms etc. Don't worry, there are loads of private moments that she'll never tell us. Moments that are just theirs. She didn't go into much detail, she said about talking to him. She didn't say what she said. Nor should she. She said just enough. I'm sure when we see the full interview it'll be more clear, and obvious that she's actually only telling us a small amount.
I hope her words and attitude bring comfort to people who are going through hard times.
Talking is therapy, and acceptance.

[Peppercorn1991]

Well the usual media suspects are posting articles about the interview

Kev x

[drove all night]

As Céline mentioned in the sniplet of the GMA-interview, "UP" is one of her and her kids favorite movies. "UP" is an American 3D computer-animated comedy-drama adventure film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and released in 2009 by Walt Disney Pictures.
It's about a 78-year-old widower named Carl Fredricksen and a young Wilderness Explorer named Russell. Carl tyes thousands of balloons to his home, to fulfill his dream to see the wilds of South America and to complete a promise made to his late beloved wife, Ellie.

Here are some sniplets of Ellie and Carl's happy life … til the end:


In August 2008 Céline and her family released hundred ballons in recognition of the fifth anniversary of "Papa Dion's" death.

Céline mentions in that short clip of tomorrows GMA-interview, that she bought "alot of pixie dust" for her twins "to make a wish and to talk to papa" ...

For those who don't know what that is: Fairies can enable others to fly by sprinkling them with fairy dust (called "pixie dust" in the Disney films). First made famous by "Tinker bell", a fictional character from J. M. Barrie's 1904 play "Peter Pan" and its 1911 novelization "Peter and Wendy".

And this is, how it looks like. And, NO, it's not "simple glitter"!   It's PIXIE DUST!

Hearing Celine say 'up' so much immediately made me think of this song, which in itself has quite a fitting message with regards to what Celine said to the twins:

Agreed.  The usual suspects in the press are spinning it as 'final words' because they know that'll drive clicks.  But I don't think that's strictly what she said, and I'm sure there's plenty she's keeping private.  Yes, she's being her usual overly open self, but it's like Denise Bombardier said in her book - she only really lets us see the top of the iceberg that she wants us to see, but is actually far more guarded than people think.

Meanwhile I read in the comment section: ''I'm sorry for her loss. I Do wish people would stop sending balloons into the atmosphere. The harm they cause to our environment is terrible! If they want to stay with the "UP" theme, volunteer at an aviary or raptor refuge. It may be therapeutic and is a positive thing for the family.''

People never fail to amaze me!

Well the first part is probably true, like it or not. The second part however is going a little far.

Omg! I am shaking my head at some people in this world..... Yep there are tons, millions of balloons floating around in space at this moment causing havoc! You are so right Luke, people never fail to astound me in their stupidity!

When I read that I actually did have the thought cross my mind that this could bring some negative publicity....

The issue isn't that the balloons are let go, it's that they eventually come back to earth and inevitably end up harming an animal...

(EDIT! I should add that the following link does have some graphic photos of animals)

I think it is a really cool gesture and I know it's very meaningful to Celine and the boys but I can't help agree that it isn't the most environmentally-friendly thing to do

did people find something against Pixi dust?   where is it produced, by little children earning just enough to eat ...Celine is an environmental and economical disaster.

I understand the need to talk about it but to share the actual words she told René (I heard a clip of it) is just too personal as far as I'm concerned.
She can sure share how she explained things to her children but the last words to René is nobody's business...
