I watched this movie, My Sister's Keeper today.

It was an amazing movie, because it addressed the fundamental threads that make up this thing called-Family.

It is really sad, because you see how we as humans cannot control life or death, by our own power.
This story is about a girl, who is purposefully "created" and born to donate bone marrow and a kidney to her dying sister, who has leukemia.
Watching this from the perspective of being in hospital not long ago, it was so real that it hit me in the face- how life and death are a part of everyday living.

How a mother's heartbeat is always to keep her children safe, to do everything she can in her power.
Personally, i cried the most when Kate was alone in the room with her mother, getting her mother to come to terms with the fact that it was time for her to go, How her mother really broke down and cried.

I really cried buckets then, and you can see how life is never the same after a close one has passed away.
Although i've not experienced this first hand, but you can feel the grief even after the scene of her funeral.
Most importantly, it taught me the power of family ties, that nothing, not a court case, nor a death, can break our families apart.

I guess God put you in your family for a reason, and we should treasure each and every sibling and our parents. Because you really never know when they will no longer be on this earth.

I'm glad I have a sister. I hope I can be my sister's keeper too. I love you Joy! (:
