That was a great moment, I loved that.

When she's saying goodbye and the youngest boy starts crying whilst his elder brother is trying to detach and not get upset but is terribly upset - that scene is heart breaking.

The shot scene turns me into a blubbering idiot as does the scene where she talks to the boys. Also, I love the way Winger matter of fact's it with Jeff Daniels Flap, asking if he "REALLY" wants the kids.

I'm the mother of a 3 year old fighting cancer for the second time. It was beautiful to see someone act out my frustration. My son is at a world-class facility but even they mess things up horribly sometimes.

I completely agree. I know nurses are overworked and it's not always easy to get patients their meds at the specific time they are next due, but being in exreme pain and waiting for the four hour or six hour or eight hour mark is horrific. And it gripes me when patients buzz for the nurse to remind them they are due for more meds and it can take 10-20-30-40 minutes for the nurse to come in there. UNACCEPTABLE!! I've made my rounds with nurses like Aurora did. I think we all have. And when the nurse delivers, drama gone. They get a thank you, like Aurora did.
Emma's scene with her boys breaks my heart every.single.time!! And the fact that she makes sure her makeup and hair is done beforehand to "appear" okay and she smiles and reassures them, my gosh, what a great mother!!
Interesting. You're afraid of insects and women. Ladybugs must render you catatonic. -

Loved that scene. Our family is like that. Loud and crazy and love each other almost too passionately.
I did something like that scene when my son was sick in the er and his eyes were rolling back in his head.
Aurora always reminded me of my Grandma. Always socially akward -

My favorite scene!!! I once did the same thing to my son! He hadn't seen the movie yet, and then on Will and Grace, Karen does that scene in the hospital when Stan is ill. When my son finally saw the movie, he just cracked up and said, "now I know what the fuss is all about!" So great!!!
Wait! Wait! Where are you going? I was gonna make Espresso! -

It was amazing, and so accurate of how the medical community can be insensitive to paid as they so see so much of it. I am an avid supporter of having your mother around when you are sick.

If you're loved one is in pain and holding out and suffering while waiting for the next dose, don't go screaming like a lunatic every four hours. Talk to the nurses, get the doctor on the phone, get the dosages changed or get more meds added.
Nobody should have to be in pain and waiting for meds. That's insane.
I worked oncology for many years and never once did we have a scene like that. If the meds weren't working, we would call the freaking doctor and say, "She needs more" or "Can I get a morphine drip?" or some damn thing.
Even people who endured the most horrific treatment (which is stem cell treatment) or had bone cancer pain were kept out of pain.
I don't know what all they had in the early 80s for pain, but I know they had freaking morphine. To this day, there is nothing better. It's cheap and it works, so there is really no reason for anyone to ever be in pain unless they're a burn patient (which is something I couldn't do. God bless the burn nurses.)
Talk to the doctors and nurses. Don't make (or allow) your loved ones to suffer because the drugs aren't good enough. One thing we have in America is good health care and a nearly endless supply of morphine.
There is just no reason for anyone to have pain. Period.
