    My beautiful mum pass away from cancer 2009 and i watching this movie it made me cry. My mum was amazing mother and she was single mum raising my sister and I on her own. My mum was like this girl mum in this movie didn't go straight away to get tested if she had cancer. I still miss her and love her so much even she pass away long time ago.😭✌️

    To all of you young people this is exactly what I did in my high school days as well. This was before computers although later on in high school. We did have computers after the fact, but before computers. This is exactly what we did bitterly. It was transcribed to us and we typed it. And if you didn'type it correctly, you did it again and again and again.

    Although this movie is sad it is good because it shows the importance of appreciating the more important things and people while they are here. Also how to cope when dealing with a terminal illness. The daughter grows in ways she didn't expect while getting to know her Mother.

    Instead of when I was young...this pretty much happened to my mom around 2012...and she died in 2015. It started in the breast and metastasized into kidney and bone.
    While this show is a good indicator of the reality, there's more. Debt, funeral expenses, possible lack of insurance, foreclosure...
    This is stuff I know all too well.
    After mom died, we were foreclosed on, and we never really recovered. My brother and I are homeless.
    Make sure you guys get tested, and make sure that you get enough insurance, so what happened to us doesn't happen to you...so that you don't lose everything, like we did.

      This was definitely a sad one, but there were kids out there who could relate. I'm sure it helped a few kids dealing with this issue or kids who were watching a friend go through it. Everybody will hit a rough patch eventually. These mini-movies taught life lessons and empathy. We could use more After School Specials right now.
