I don't know if it was the setting in the south that spoke so clearly to my heart or maybe the pull on a mother's heart. But I really enjoyed watching this film. It made me reminisce to a time when I lived in a town of 300 and found wonder in the midst of a simple life.
It made me want to own a big piece of land and enjoy each sunset. It reminded me of this deep love that I now hold for my daughter. It amazes me that she has been in my life for two and a half years, but I have a deep well of love for her. A love that sometimes cannot be adequately described, but felt beyond the expanse of the horizon.
The story revolves around a girl who feels unloved. I know that there are many children that feel that way and this story truly takes you on a journey to remind us that blood may not bring us what we want. But life sometimes does. It comes in a different form. Bottom line: it makes me want to love more and have a retreat from the crazy busy life.
I can't say though I've found a new passion for bees. I have a friend who is endeared to them. I still hold a bit of fear and probably would get seriously stung. But this was an incredible film with a very big heart.
