StepMom: A Must See Cancer-Mothers’ Day-Related Movie

First of all, today is Mothers’ day. Earlier today I watched the movie StepMom, it was on at HBO and I accidentally saw it while channel surfing. I’ve seen this movie several times when I was younger (during my pre-mom days).

Motherhood changes a woman life is an understatement. You just see everything under a new light, the moment you knew a life is pulsating inside you. Your priorities change. You and your life isn’t just the same anymore.

As is shown in this particular movie – one big dilemma a mother can experience is knowing that you will outlive your young kids and leave them in the care of somebody else. In real life, not everyone is lucky to be given the time – that Susan Sarandon’s character in the movie had – to let another woman get to know your kids well, reconcile your personal issues with yourself and the people close to you, enough for you to be that secured to entrust their future to her.

Many women’s lives have been claimed by cancer at such inopportune time that kids are in their formative years. It just breaks my heart thinking if I wouldn’t be there during the highlights of my kid’s life. We all want to be there. If we can’t, i don’t know…those who survived you, just survives somehow. After all, life such goes on, right? It just sucks. But cancer happens sometimes.

And ohhh…I was sobbing real hard when I saw the movie earlier. This is just a very emotional day ( in a good way!) and it is almost over for me. My 5-year-old already hit the sack more than an hour ago, maybe I should too.

Happy mothers’ day, to all you mothers!
