I had heard the story on NPR (National Public Radio), so I was not surprised by the headlights in her rear-view mirror...it made them more meaningful. I saw this film with my Mom at a theater -- glad she was driving, so I could let rip -- didn't stop crying until fifteen minutes after we left.
This was such an important story.
