Bette Midler-The Glory of Love

[@jessicavorhies7703]

My sister and I watched this movie together all the time. She was 16 years older than me. This was our movie and forever young was our song. I miss you and love you sis!

So sweet. I was blessed with being able to take care of my beautiful Momma in her last days and there with my family as she took her last breath. I so miss her but am thankful that I was there. I played music for her as well. So glad she had Jesus with her then and now for eternity.

My Mother loved this song also and died on her death bed at 68.

[@bruw5640]

One of Bette’s very best renditions of a classic song. Enormously moving. It may seem silly to some but I waved to my Mom like that after she died. It’s like saying, please don’t go, but we’ll see each other again. Like trying to give them one last hug.

[@ShalomPena]

This song and well movie reminds me of my late best friend Betsy. 😢 she died if breast cancer. Found out she was pregnant and had cancer the same day.. ❤ she was a fighter... hugs to all that can relate. The laughter is deep the pain is real the memories are forever.

[@shwmehvn]

I love how her style of singing the song changes over time, from childish bouncy, to loud theatre and finally as she her self has loved, been loved, lost love she ends up singing the song with so much tenderness and experience.

My best friend from elementary school found me after 40 years of separation. It's so wonderful having her back in my life. We're in our 60's now, but we picked up right where we left off. I sent her this movie and every time we haven't spoken for a while, she feels terrible and I use this movie's byline: "Some friendships last forever" We're just busy, not neglectful....

I watched this movie several times. Then m best friend died of ovarian cancer, and I could never watch it again. But I still love this song.

[@MichaelBrookham]

What is nice about this is that C.C. sang this song in a more upbeat manner at the beginning and she sang it nice and slowly here. I thought it was a great tribute to their friendship and a great way to dedicate it to her friend's memory.

If this movie taught us anything it’s that life is short. Love each other and enjoy the time we all have on this earth. 💙🙏🏼

[@Southernblonde1310]

I remember being a little one and my mother crying so much at this movie. I lost her several years ago, but I'll never lose the memories of her singing this to me. I have not found it in me to watch the entire movie as an adult. I don't know that my heart could handle it. One day.

[@SugaStarr]

As a child I loved how it came full circle. As kids Hillary watched CeCe sing this and it ended with Victoria watching CeCe sing it. So devastating but beautiful ❤️ I loved that CeCe hated kids but would have given her life for Hillary and made the ultimate sacrifice by taking Victoria. Best friends are like Sisters- The bond is unbreakable.

[@queenmicale9686]

Omg. She is amazing. She can sing anythg. One of the best singers ever. And actress!!!. Love love beaches. Bravo. 😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤

[@dorisjd]

“Beaches” came on today - it’s been years since I’ve last seen it. It’s still a tear jerker for me. 😭 Love this movie and Bette Mildler even more 💖

[@jamieaec]

The name of the movie is "Beaches" made in about 1988. It is such a wonderful movie. Seen it about 20 times through the years. It shows off all sides of Bette. But make sure to get out the Kleenex. If you have ever lost someone close to you that you have loved with all your heart. This movie is soooo cathartic. If you feel touched by it and are crying, just remember there is someone crying with you too...

[@stevekohut9888]

You've got to give a little, take a little, and let your poor heart break a little. That's the story of, that's the glory of love. You've got to laugh a little, cry a little, until the clouds roll by a little. That's the story of, that's the glory of love. As long as there's the two of us, we've got the world and all it's charms. And when the world is through with us, we've got each other's arms. You've got to win a little, lose a little, yes, and always have the blues a little. That's the story of, that's the glory of love. That's the story of, that's the glory of love.

I felt my heart break in this scene, both for the little girl and the little girl in me.

[@emilyrad1634]

This movie will forever be dear to my heart when I was little my sister and I would stay up at night and watch this. We always sang this song to each other... but she moved away and started her life. I was at the mall with my mom and I was talking about a song to do for a school project and the new version came out of Beaches and I was humming the lines " You've gotta love a little laugh a little" and my mom stoped me and said I should do this song for my project and I've never been more happier then ever!

[@MichaelBrookham]

I find this ironic: When C.C., as a kid, sings this song at the beginning, she sings it more upbeat and Hillary says she almost cried at it. When C.C., as an adult, sings it slowly, Victoria stands in the sidelines and smiles.
