angel_janeThere is an episode of ER that is absolutely beautiful and bittersweet. I saw it two years before my mum died, and 6 before my father died.
There was a character played by Anthony Edwards, who had cancer, and when I first saw the episode it allowed me to get in contact with a part of me I kept buried from the time my father was diagnosed with cancer. It was also the time I began realising cancer would likely kill my father.
Every time I have had the oppertunity to watch it I have and the way the story line and the acting, as well as direction were so brilliantly done that it is always something that makes me cry.
Now that I have lost my father it hits just as hard. Infact I can identify with both the daughter and the situation. The part that really hit home this time around was when Edwards's Character has begun slurring his words and he tells his daughter that the most important thing a father should impart to his daughter is generosity of time and love.
This time I m still crying 15 mins after the end of the episode. Irrespective of how sad it is, and how close to home it gets, I always will watch it.
