    This series was one of the BEST things I have seen on TV in ages!!! Beautiful story about love, loss, dreams, defining family, family coming together to lift each other up through unimaginable challenges, getting through grief and starting over from scratch. it is just packed with so much humanity. What an unexpected gem.

    It did that for me and my Beloved Mother who passed away in December of 2021. We lived together and I took care of her through a degenerative illness that caused her to lose skills monthly. I began with the palliative care at home then transitioned to hospice. People don't understand that the nurses only come out to check up and bring supplies but the loved ones do the actual care taking. I spoke to her and rubbed her arm and she took her last breaths. Needless to say that I bawled throughout this movie. It was just beautiful.... and heartbreaking.

    Oooh , I balled watching this , and in one day . I cried for two reasons . I related to this because my husband and I found each other 7 months after I lost my dad to cancer , and I was his caregiver. My husband is a Iraq war veteran who had just left the military months before I met him and our love is so beautiful , but it came with its own set of challengers as well. However after 12 years married and 13 together , it has all been worth it. This was such a great love story to watch and relate too.

I cried and I get every emotion with you guys. I am most grateful that his dad came around. I love your story and I pray that life continues to be good to you. You’re blessed to find love again and I pray that your joys are immeasurable as the love form your first husband was. You didn’t do well by your sister. Like my daughter said she always gets the short end of the stick. We see she continues to give you all her love too. She’s super proud of you and will do anything. for you. Big shout out to your family and the Sicilian people.

Tembi’s and Saro’s (Amy and Lino in the series) love is 100% relatable. A BeautiFULL memoir, indeed! I’m so glad Reese Witherspoon is bringing untold stories to the screen. I am beyond blessed to have a love like this.
