Welcome to Jurassic Park

I got depressing news today. I was upset about Robin Williams' death. Vaguely. But while I enjoyed the movies he was in, he wasn't as much a part of my childhood as this man. You should all be aware by this point of how much I love Jurassic Park.
This is hard for me to say. Richard Attenborough died today. As far as I can tell, he lived a full, good life. A long one too. But that still doesn't change the fact that that information was devastating. And now I understand how everyone else felt.

But, that doesn't change anything. So I just wanted to share something that plays in my head when I hear his name. That is my favorite part of the movie and it makes me cry every time. That music, man.
Richard Attenborough was my TV grandpa. He was the one who made my precious dinosaurs. And I always wanted to meet John Hammond (not the book version because he was kind of a dick). Jurassic Park awakened my dreams just as reality awakened his.

Thank you, Richard Attenborough. Thank you for helping my dreams.
