Everything About Her is basically a story of a successful woman, Vivian, who was diagnosed to have stage 3 cancer. As the CEO of her company, she must not be seen weak even under her medical condition. Her attending physician recommended a private nurse for her, Jaica. She, however was introduced as another executive assistant to conceal the real deal.
Vivian's son, Albert, was called by Jaica to help on the project they are working on. To convince him, Jaica told him the status of his mother. By the way, Albert is not close to his mom because he felt work is more important to her than him. For short, kulang sa pansin.
Jaica relates to Albert's hatred for her mom because she also have issues with her mother. The good thing about Jaica's character is that she paved the way for Vivian and Albert's reconciliation. On the other hand, Vivian also helped Jaica soften her heart for her mom.
I think the movie is more appropriate during the celebration of Mother's day because it tackles the sacrifices of mothers and the consequences of their choices. It also showed how children respond to those so called sacrifices, positively and/or negatively. How this children react and cope with it.
For the mothers, there's nothing wrong with wanting your kids to have a better future. However, communication is a very strong tool while working hard on your goal. Let your children understand what you are doing. And also, once in a while give time to them even in special occasions at least.
For the children, as you grow and mature, learn to forgive sooner. As Vivian said in the movie, "wag mong hintayin ang cancer" to reconcile with people you have conflict with, specially with family members, and most importantly with your parents. We are only given one so learn to forgive and spend time with them as much as possible. Even when you felt that they deprived you of that, just remember that you are not what you are and where you are if things didn't go the way it did.
Pardon my eyes... They've just been cleansed.
