I lost my Mama to cancer in 2013 and she was a redhead. I have one little lock of her beautiful red hair. :(.. This actress Karlene Crockett reminds me of her so much.
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.😭✌️
This one really hits home. I lost my mother to cancer when I was ten years old. This took place 3 years before her passing in 1984. I wish I had watched this.
R.I.P dear Mom & Dad, November 2022 & February 2007, respectively. I miss and I love you both, I think about you everyday. Cancer is a terrible disease, it took both my parents. 💔
I lost my mom almost 8 years ago and I'm crying hysterically having watched this, however, it was very well done with an important message. And Rob Lowe was absolutely adorable.
MANY PRAYERSNLUV TO YOU BOTH.TRY TO TAKE COMFORT IN THE KNOWLEDGE,THAT THRU GOD'S GLORIOUS GRACE,WE WILL BE REUNITED IN GOD'S GLORIOUS KINGDOM.MANY PRAYERSNLUV TO ALL ❤❤❤❤
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.
I lost my maternal grandmother, who lived with my single mom and me and was, in every way that counted, my other parent, and I was overpowered by sorrow even though I was already an adult
The pain never, ever goes away...and that's okay. It's the price we must pay for tremendous love ❤️. I'll pay that price each and every time. Our responsibility on this planet is to love, love, love as much as we can, animals, humans, and our environment. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜❤️🧡💛💚💙💜❤️🧡💛💚
This messed me up as a kid, every time my mom coughed or had a headache I was pressing her to go to the doctors.......never even thought of losing a parent until this afterschool special.
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.
@@dianeoh8795 I would love to bring Afterschool Specials back! I sometimes make my teenagers watch them for laughs, but I secretly hope they get something out of it!
I’ve watched this episode back on an Afterschool Specials DVD set 14 years ago because I remember when this Redhead’s mother was diagnosed with throat cancer & had later spread to her lungs which is now a matter of time before her time on Earth is up .
im sorry for your loss....the irony....sorry..,missing a letter....i was iagnose with acute myeloi leukemia on march 14 of that year.....im in remission but im so sorry for your loss.
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.
I'm so sad to hear your story, you are so right to warn people, we never what might happen in life, we need to be prepared, I'm praying that your situation will get better.
Oh gosh! How sad! I hope God will help you and your brother to find a home and find hope and that you 'll soon get consolation. I 'm sure your mother looks after you in heaven.
Mom passed away n 2017 ❤ and bff who was 2nd mom passed away 2019❤. With my mom i knew about her sickness smh still was not easy smh. My bff it just happened n she passed away on my sister birthday which was n apirl. My mom passed day from mothers day. My bff friend bday is early may. N my mom and I shared the same bday month which is march. March, apirl, and may r hard months. But all months r hard.😢
I know how you feel my mother stop talking before she died from terrible cancer. I was upset seeing her dying and I miss her and love her so much. May she RIP 😢✌️.
Usually Redheads, and Redskin people are prone to cancer; My favorite uncle is a Black Native, and died of cancer when 16, and i was crushed, he wasn't my Mom, or Dad he was like a 2nd Dad to me.😢
My cancer went from my breast to now my spine ,,my mom died in feb 2009 from breast cancer it spread to her liver .ii am so worried the same will happen to me.
Lol , I'd feel silly taking up all that space , she said at the cemetery. 😁😁.. she must be my long lost sister. 😄 ...I'm pretty sure I had that pink and grey sweater too. 😃
This is one of the worst Afterschool Special type of shows I've seen on here, but that was a very, very young ROB LOWE behind her during the typing test!
I too was confused by that scene. Before the teacher said that I thought she was typing her feelings and other non-course related material in a bout of emotions.
I am just now watching this movie but if you want to know about any song, you just press Google on your cell phone and then press the microphone and hum or sing a few words and notes of the song or let Google hear the song from another device and it will tell you what it is after a few seconds.. I simply played the graduation scene where they were playing that song you were questioning on my iPad and pressed Google on my cell phone and then there is a tab that says "search a song" and then I let it play on my iPad onto my cell phone and within seconds it pulled up the name of the song .. .it is called Tetsu & Masaki Piano Duo Labarre/ Duo Sir La Prophett De Meyebeer 🌞
Boy, They sure did it different in the 70s. Graduation was little. Walking two by two..I remember those graduations. Why through 5 including my own Funny how life is...FUNNY
Lol they are pretty good but they were not famous or celebrities. Redhead was annoying and miscast because she looks the same age as the Mom with cancer. I do t believe any of this either. Lol. But good editing in a movie can fool anybody into thinkg anything is good, really… The scene in typing class is painful as are the mom’s death sequences. Sad hugs.

Love these. Just recently found these. And it's the second one with Rob Lowe before he was big.
I just saw teenage father and when I saw this one I didn't know he was in it
This Rob Lowe when he was young before he became rich and famous. He was cute when he was young and he still cute when his older.

I lost my mother in 2013. I was 47 and it was so hard on me, it is s lot worse at Lisiel's age. I miss my mother so much

This one hit home. My mom died 4 yrs ago from stage IV lung cancer. I miss her so much.

I lost my mom when I was fifteen, a sophomore in high school. You never really get over it.

Lost my mom to brain cancer in 2011..😢I still miss her every day.💔
This is pretty heavy and sad for an Afterschool Special. I just watched it and I cried. Reminded me of when my own Mother died. I miss her so much.
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.
I lost my father to cancer in 1988. Still hurts to this day 😢
I did too.
Lost my dad to brain cancer in 2022 I miss him everyday!
I cried my eyes out the first time I saw this.
Rob Lowe’s hair is so adorable. He looks exactly the same!
Yeah and he's turning sixty in March! Still a pretty boy and a very talented actor!

I was SO TRAUMATIZED at 42:03 when I saw this as a kid. This was the most depressing afterschool special ever.
You are right. I just watched this for the first time and now I'm traumatized. Especially the end. Very hard to watch.
Please do not use the word "traumatized" so flippently. Trauma is something beyond a fucking movie. Please. You don't apparently know.
This messed me up as a kid, every time my mom coughed or had a headache I was pressing her to go to the doctors.......never even thought of losing a parent until this afterschool special.

Rob Lowe at 9:28. He was in more than one of these types of shows when he was young.
This movie is beautiful watching it again

my adoptive mom, who was really my bio sister passed away on March 25, 2019. She was just 72 and had kidney cancer
im sorry for your loss....the irony....sorry..,missing a letter....i was iagnose with acute myeloi leukemia on march 14 of that year.....im in remission but im so sorry for your loss.
Adoptive mom, biological sister....uh???
@@suzee6335 posting the link to a cult really isn't helpful
This movie makes me remember when my mother passed away from Lung cancer more than 12 years ago, and I still miss her to this day😢😢!!😢
@@llamalady8700 That is clearly a bittersweet story in itself. Bless her that she was kept in her family....I so pray you were all happy.

I can relate to this afterschool special my poor mother pass away from cancer. Cancer is terrible disease and not everyone who has cancer survives.
I lost my mother years ago. This hits hard
Sorry for your loss. My father passed away suddenly when I was a kid. The pain never leaves you.

I lost a family friend to lung cancer back in 2022 or 2023 . She was a heavy smoker . It was so sad 😢I miss her ❤
My mom beat colon cancer, but this was close to reality
Man I smoke.. this is like my worst nightmare. 😭 I wanna quit
I pray that you do quit. My nightmare is that my husband has been smoking for 30 years and I don't know what I'd do without him.
@@luckied7542 I've been smoking for 19 years and I'm only 32. I worry about not being around for my son and husband as well. It's super tough though
@@luckied7542
Inhaling secondary smoke is as bad, if not worse, since not filtered.
@@madisonnicole124my mom smoked for 50 years before she finally quit. She died a year later.
Try switching to vaping....it can save your life.
I lost 2 moms to cancer ❤😢
Lost both my parents on the same day nine years apart...my mother to cancer May 13, 2007, (Mother's Day) that year, and my dad May 13, 2016...
I feel like the mom and daughter in the movie weirdly look like about the same age.
I had the book , a whole lifetime ago. Oh wow! Is that guy Rob Lowe?!
i miss you mommy and love you. sniff sniff. your, Honeybunch
I love these
I have a comment below from a year ago, I don't remember watching this. This happens all the time. 😬
We had to put my mom in hospice care. N she was not able to go to my college graduation.
We live through our children and the spirit goes on to wherever.....
My during mom last days she couldn't speak any more.😢
I know how you feel my mother stop talking before she died from terrible cancer. I was upset seeing her dying and I miss her and love her so much. May she RIP 😢✌️.
My Mother slso diedvfrom lung cancer. Must quit smoking
Usually Redheads, and Redskin people are prone to cancer; My favorite uncle is a Black Native, and died of cancer when 16, and i was crushed, he wasn't my Mom, or Dad he was like a 2nd Dad to me.😢
Heartbreaking. 😢 Love ❤️ is the only answer and comes with a price.
My cancer went from my breast to now my spine ,,my mom died in feb 2009 from breast cancer it spread to her liver .ii am so worried the same will happen to me.
I sincerely hope that you will be okay and that good health will be restored to you in the very near future! ❤️🙏🏻🌈
Lol , I'd feel silly taking up all that space , she said at the cemetery. 😁😁.. she must be my long lost sister. 😄 ...I'm pretty sure I had that pink and grey sweater too. 😃
I lost my Mom from Cancer in 2006 it suck
My Mom definitely kept it well hidden
They did a good job on Rosemary Forsyth's makeup
I lost my mom in 2011 to cancer 😢
I see Rob Lowe and (I think) Annie Potts.
Was Rob Lowe one of the graduates ans the daughters friend?
Yup. Couldn't put a name with the face. Thanks 😄
@@marriedagain2008 i thought so! 😁
34:36-34:56. How was Lisl cheating on that typing test? Was it because of the bells ringing and everybody else stopped typing?
This is one of the worst Afterschool Special type of shows I've seen on here, but that was a very, very young ROB LOWE behind her during the typing test!
I too was confused by that scene. Before the teacher said that I thought she was typing her feelings and other non-course related material in a bout of emotions.
@@BBC600 exactly...😢
What's the name of the musical selection that plays during the graduation procession?
I am just now watching this movie but if you want to know about any song, you just press Google on your cell phone and then press the microphone and hum or sing a few words and notes of the song or let Google hear the song from another device and it will tell you what it is after a few seconds..

10:05-10:27, Lisl is wearing braces during this flashback.
Rob Lowe is giving 80s Zac Efron!
This must have been an ABC program.
Is that Rob Lowe?
Yes. He was so young. 😀
Boy, They sure did it different in the 70s. Graduation was little. Walking two by two..I remember those graduations. Why through 5 including my own
Funny how life is...FUNNY
for real
That was nkt the 70s it was 1981
😭👍
This should be a lot more touching but I can't get into it. And I cry at the drop of a hat! It's the really bad acting.
Lol they are pretty good but they were not famous or celebrities. Redhead was annoying and miscast because she looks the same age as the Mom with cancer. I do t believe any of this either. Lol. But good editing in a movie can fool anybody into thinkg anything is good, really…
The scene in typing class is painful as are the mom’s death sequences. Sad hugs.
😂
The year of bad hair.
The 80s was a whole decade of bad hair 😂
Some people sure are overly dramatic.
Would not take much to trun this into a horror movie
