Just watched My Sister's Keeper with Mama and Eya seconds ago. It was heartbreaking and so touching. We cried buckets and the sobbing was non-stop. Sigh. It made me realize how precious it is to have that unconditional love and bond between a mother and a daughter. The way Kate's mother,Sarah Fitzgerald took care of Kate during her years of struggling with leukemia, and how Anna, the last child in the family, is the only hope in saving Kate's life. Anna filed a lawsuit against her own mother, arguing that she has her own rights to her own body and that there was no permission granted from Anna during the bone marrow surgery, in donating it to Kate. She certainly loves Kate as much as Sarah,the mother does. But based on my understanding, I guess Anna was confused by her own actions and not considering what the outcome would be.
This kind of movie really,really touches my heart as it reflects the family values and it makes us think hard on what we can do to preserve that certain kind of love and care towards one another. No matter how painful things can be around the house with the family, you just know deep inside your heart that they are the only ones who are constantly there whenever you need anything from them. And, to think that no one, and nothing can replace them from you.
It certainly uplifts my way of thinking on the importance of preserving the family values wherever we are and whoever we may come to be. No matter what we do,where we go, we know for the fact that family will be on the top list of our priorities in life.And for that, I am thankful enough to be able to live with a spectacular family of my own.
