My Sister's Keeper

My Sister's keeper, we watched The Sister's Keeper. A movie that made me cry like 75% of the time when I was watching it.

The
Sister's Keeper is a movie about Anna - an 11 year old girl, conceived
through Invitro-fertilization. She was purposely conceived to be a
donor to her leukemia-stricken sister Kate.

Anna Fitzgerald
s...eeks the successful lawyer Campbell Alexander trying to hire him to
earn medical emancipation from her mother Sara that wants Anna to
donate her kidney to her sister. She tells the lawyer the story of her
family after the discovery that her older sister Kate has had leukemia;
how she was conceived by in vitro fertilization to become a donor; and
the medical procedures she has been submitted since she was five years
old to donate to her sister.

This movie made me cry some more
because 2 years ago, we almost lost Joy (our inspiration in life) and she suffered from
many complications... she went through dialysis too. I just can picture
out the pain the family suffer. The things a mother can and will do
just to prolong the life of her sick child. Everything in the movie is
very realistic... from pain ... to suffering ... from holding on to
family... to finally giving up and letting go...

It is sad but it shows some facts of life....
