Sara and Brian Fitzgerald's life with their young son and their two-year-old daughter, Kate, is forever altered when they learn that Kate has leukemia. The parents' only hope is to conceive another child, specifically intended to save Kate's life. For some, such genetic engineering would raise both moral and ethical questions; for the Fitzgeralds, Sara in particular, there is no choice but to do whatever it takes to keep Kate alive. And what it takes is Anna. Kate and Anna share a bond closer than most sisters: though Kate is older, she relies on her little sister--in fact, her life depends on Anna. Throughout their young lives, the sisters endure various medical procedures and hospital stays--just another part of their close-knit family's otherwise normal life. Sara, a loving wife and mother who left her career as an attorney to care for her daughter, is sometimes lost inside the single-minded caregiver she has become in her efforts to save Kate. Her strong, supportive husband, Brian, is often rendered powerless and passive by his wife's strength and determination. And their only son, Jesse, drifts, at times all but forgotten as Kate and Anna take center stage. Until Anna, now 11, says "no." Seeking medical emancipation, she hires her own lawyer initiating a court case that divides the family and that could leave Kate's rapidly failing body in the hands of fate. The judgement goes on, and everybody has to take sides one way or another. Later on, the idea about emancipation was not Anna's, in fact it was Kate, the always-sick one, who asked her to put a stop to her endless suffering.

This is a best, inspirational, touching movie that I would encourage everybody to have a watch. I went for this movie with a girlfriend last night. She read the book before, and we both were so interested on this movie. It made me cried. If you plan to go for this movie, make sure you bring some tissue with you. I can hear everybody sniffing and crying so obviously in the theater.
Here're some sharing.

Watching this movie inspirated me, made me recalling both of my elder sisters, those sweet and sour memories. Time really flies, I still remember vividly when my eldest sis leave to US for her studies in 1998. It seems like just happened yesterday, and now it is about 12 years old. And that time my second sis was doing her studies in the local Uni, we barely meet each other as she came home once or twice every weekend. It is funny that, I spent 6 years together with my second sis without my eldest sis, and now I spent another 6 years with my eldest sis in the States without my second sis, PRETTY FAIR huh??? =p And now, 3 of us are apart from each other and I do miss them most of the time. Especially my second sis, everytime we chat online, she asked me when do I want to go back, if we are going back this Dec as I promised her before. I pray and hope that we will have the chance to re-union soon! I love you two =)

Kate, I really think she is a beautiful and brave girl, the main character in the movie made me cry the most, when I see her suffer from the leukemia. And the strong-tight relationship between her and the whole family, how they supportand love each other. I was thinking that, how fragile of our live as a human being. Kate said in the movie, "She is pain, her entire life is a pain". This really made my heart feel so pain. All in all, I learn from this movie, to appreciate every single person and thing in my life. To always appreciate and be thankful for having a healthy body to do many meaningful things.
This is the link for a short review of the movie,
