[@wally1452]

Eleven years before this film, Sally made my favorite film of all..."Murphy's Romance," with James Garner...oh my, what a beautiful film!!

[@Jebbie1976]

I agree. Very sweet film. I actually just watched it last night (for the 3rd time).

[@winonamassingill7895]

I watched Murphy’s Romance 💘 about 2 months ago. As soon as I finished it I was tempted to watch it the second time right away. Another one you should watch, if you haven’t already done so, is: One Special Night starring James Garner and Julie Andrews. It was really special too and I read that he and Julie Andrews had a special relationship. However, I’m glad that it didn’t imply that it was anything sexual. I also read somewhere that he said that to have a successful marriage an actor shouldn’t fall in love with his costar. 🥰🥰🥰💘💘💘

[@user-ei8rb7sj6c]

@@paisley293 None of us can until it happens. I’m so thankful I had friends, neighbors and family who were there in the beginning while I was still in shock & disbelief to bring food, help plan his service, clean house, do laundry, wash dishes, or just be there to sit with me in silence or listen if I needed to reminisce, talk or cry. Others helped with practical matters such as recommending I buy AAA roadside assistance; recommending a trustworthy financial advisor, going with me to our attorneys office to change our will to my will, set up medical POA, etc. Later, friends & neighbors came to haul off heavy outdoor things that had been piling up to be discarded, but my DH hadn’t gotten around to, yet. I was blessed by so many acts of loving kindness, and I try to pay it forward whenever I can. Something I heard someone say still rings true with me: “The love and grief we feel for our lost loved one never ends. We go on by tucking it away in a special place in our heart, then going about living by opening our hearts and minds to the next chapter of our lives.” I truly hope this helps someone out there reading this. ❤️

[@hotartesian4163]

It has been decades since I saw this mini-series. Sally Field must have been in her early forties playing this character. She could pull off pretty much any part she played as believable! Nice to see this uploaded, with all parts intended. On to part two...

[@beverlypatterson4060]

I agree that we should celebrate the life of someone when he or she passes.

[@earthangel2522]

I have known people who have done that. It is a beautiful custom and brings comfort to the hearts of those who loved the departed one. She was ahead of her time, though, with that suggestion. Too many think that the degree to which you care about a person who passes on is best demonstrated by who can keep a long face the longest.

[@aicuzino7017]

I admire the way she took responsibility for her daughter’s accident, among other things.

[@pamcollins1651]

I’m not really sure about your comment? Her daughter’s accident was purely that, an accident 🤷‍♀️ her daughter let go of her mother’s hand and ran onto the road! Children did that in those days and do so even today! What else was she responsible for? (In your eyes)

[@FarewellAphrodite]

I think she’s one lucky beeeatch

[@LuciThomasHardylover-qx6ts]

She took responsibility in that she refused to take advantage of the accident to sue the driver, because she knew that it wasn't his fault. She also feels a mothers guilt because she was so taken up with her Shakespeare society instead of concentrating on her daughter's hand.

@manic hairdo That’s true. But, we are becoming so perverted today that i don't even recognize it. Look at what the news is reporting about.

Humans have become so evil because of the devil's intrusion upon the world. This darkness has invaded every part of society. Even world leaders are promoting hate and destruction. My heart is greatly saddened by the events of today. I have an extremely difficult time coping with the distorted truths and constant attacks on morality in the United States. We have turned our back from God and His goodness. Being a Christian is not an easy road to take, but through prayer, i'm doing my best to handle it and remain sane in the chaos.
