Terms of Endearment

Why is it that I can watch this movie 1,000 times and I know what happens at the end, but I still bawl my eyes out like a baby?
I caught the last 20 minutes of this movie last night and I cried and cried. Why am I such a sap?
It is so heartwrenching to watch a mom lose her daughter and the daughter to lose her children...it kills me every time. I hate to think that I could die before my kids while they are young....I hate that thought.
I know that it must have broke my husbands mom's heart when she died when he was only 9 months old and his brother was 9. It kills me to think that my husband grew up without the love of his mom.
This movie makes me love my family a little bit more than I already do if that is even possible.

I love it too, and I'm a bigger sucker for "Night Mother" with Sissy Spacek.
Oh, and Steel Magnolias.
We should get together and watch sad sappy movies and cry our eyes out.
We must have been siblings in another life. I find that my new blog is similar to
yours graphically and that I also could watch movies I like a 1,000 times
and get emotional about them, particularly the The Third Man and The Quiet Man, and
for reasons that in principle are mentioned in your post.
