Thank you for giving me the opportunity to love you

When we are talking about family and career, we seem to subconsciously acquiesce in that the so-called "family" is our own small home after we get married, not the home with our parents. Because our parents never ask us to abandon our career for them, and never give us such a dilemma between family and career. They are always very "sensible" to take on everything on their own, so that we don't have "worries" and feel at ease to find our own world. It's as if our parents sort out the richest wings for us, but we use them to stay away from our parents step by step. In this film, mother Kate is like all mothers. She is still afraid of disturbing her children when she is seriously ill. At the beginning, Alan, like most of our children, felt that the father should temporarily lay down his career for the mother. It's not asking myself to leave the career that is on the rise, go back to the small town, and go home to take care of my mother. And until we get home, take on the role of mother, and begin to take over the daily affairs of mother, we will realize that the original housewife is really not as easy and challengeless as we thought. Kate reminds me of my mother, the neatly kept room every time I go home, as warm and beautiful as in the play; every time I come home, the table full of delicacies is as rich and delicious as in the play; Thinking that my mother is always busy, dealing with housework, taking care of the inner relationship, and taking care of our emotions, just like Kate in the play, she works hard. Kate was still worrying about her inability to organize a wedding for her daughter until she was dying. She was afraid that the noisy flower girl and noisy guests at the wedding would not be able to give her daughter a perfect wedding. This is probably the mother, she is not like the father, we always seem to be unable to see her good, but every bit of her care permeates our lives. Allen is lucky. She understands that family members love herself the most, and they are most worthy of her love. You can find a job again, but there is only one mother.

One True Thing quotes

  • Kate Gulden: [dressed as Dorothy] Welcome! There's no place like home!

    Ellen Gulden: [silently, to herself] Thank God.

  • Kate Gulden: It's so much easier to be happy, my love. It's so much easier to choose to love the things that you have, and you have so much, instead of always yearning for what you're missing, or what it is you're imagining you're missing. It's so much more peaceful.
