When Anna first found out about the need for a kidney transplant, she was going to do it and had not problem with it. But, Kate convinced her not to. It was Kate who convinced Anna to get a lawyer. Kate died.

My conclusion.

I think that this is a great and an interesting movie that we can notice how important is to enjoy our life, because we don´t know when we are need to go. I admire Sarah because she fight all the time to make happy her daughters and to have a good life. Kate is wonderful because she doesn´t be afraid about the death, she only want to enjoy her life and to fell peace in her inside. We need to think that every single day , minute , hour and second is important.
