Today I watched Terms of Endearment (having checked it out from the public library). I've seen it before, but it was a long time ago, long before I became a mom. And I cried my eyes out both times... the mother-daughter theme resonates in me in a big way now, and the sad sad mother-daughter scenes are still very powerful. The whole time I was watching it, I was looking at Lucy and thanking God for her. I am so grateful to have a beautiful daughter. I am grateful that God gives us the capacity to love our children so much. And I hope that she will survive me, not the other way around, as in the film.
