Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

I watched "Lady Bird" by myself last night and really loved it.  The film was funny, truthful, and tender.  Four times I struggled with my kids leaving home and going to college, and the year before they leave is so hard, on both sides.  This separation business is excruciating!  I recognized myself as the daughter and myself as the mother.  I put my parents through agony, then turned around and had to be the recipient four times over!  And the complexity entailed is right there on the screen, irreducable.  The acting was perfect, and I believed in these characters.  If I live long enough, I may see my kids go through this with their kids, but it's not likely.  But there is this movie out there in the world that tells it like it is, to give them comfort.  Wait a go, Greta!
