my name be jo jo ( ernie be my husband but i can not seem to be able to erase his name from this site just think i would clarify that . ) . i first saw this movie in 1982 on tv in scotland and which be where i grow up and and i immediately recognise it a the story of lyn helton and which i have read in a magazine at the library . i be totally move all over again while i think the movie be beautifully make and and the song compliment it perfectly . i have only see it repeat once since then and and that be several year ago while live here ( in new york ) . i would love to have a dvd or video of it to share with the four child i now have . i can not begin to imagine what lyn or kate go through a a mother of such a young child and have to face her own demise . i totally admire her for stand up to the doctor and not let them bully her into do something she felt be the wrong decision for her . after see the movie i be inspire to try to find out about the real lyn and her family ( we do not have the internet then ) represent i find out from the library that there be a trust establish for her daughter jennifer and and i send them a donation but never hear back from them . anyone out there know anything . her daughter must be about 36 now and and i be sure she be really proud of her mom . one final thought i notice how many people on the board mention have read the book by norma klein represent do anyone else read the two sequel sunshine christmas and the sunshine year and realise that they be totally inconsistent . it like two different people pick up from where the first book or movie leave off . it be a little bit disappointing . maybe it time to do a remake of this film . it be nice to discover that there be all these other people out there who be so inspire by this film .
