See more milton s Dec 2 A wonderful story full of hope, love and beauty. A must see. So sad to lose her so soon. Thank you all for making this doc. So much wisdom shown by Andrea. I hope Megan is doing well. I lost my wife (40) and daughter (44) to ovarian cancer and know a little about grief. See more Brooke W. @brookieday Dec 2 I cannot express how impactful and deeply moving this film has been for me. I find myself returning to it daily, in awe of the pure love between these two humans and the grace with which they chose to live out their years after such a devastating diagnosis. It’s a film that lingers—one that gently shifts the way you see the world and reminds you to love fully and without reservation. See more Susan M Nov 29 Hard to watch but wouldn’t have missed.
