Here's my two cents. Way back in the old days if the daughter got pregnant, you didn't tell anyone, you made the kid give it up and that was that. Then came the results 28 years later. A wonderful son who is even a minister. A son anyone would be proud of. And who, any grandmother should be proud of. What I can't for the love of god, understand, was Ellen Burstyn's reaction to the whole thing. It was 28 years later. She finally is able to meet the grandson she forced her daughter to give up 28 years ago. And he's a minister for heaven's sake. He's married, about to become a father, and you mean to tell me that Ellen Burstyn is still living in the past in her own mind. I would have been so happy for my daughter and for tis second chance to be a grandmother, I can't begin to tell you. That kind of narrow mindedness pools over to a person's daily life. Narrow-minded thinking prevents a person from growing into a compassionate human being. I mean, look at what's happening today. People live together, drink, do drugs, have kids out of wedlock, and her you have a grandson who is a minister and you are still standing on ceremony??? Makes no sense to me whatsoever.
