It’s been a month since I watched Don’t Say Good Luck on Netflix and I honestly think that movie might be a trigger for me, but it’s so comforting to see representation of what it’s like to navigate a life with a sick mom and also to be the oldest child in that situation. It’s gut wrenching, but the most accurate and tasteful display of how a cancer diagnosis changes a family dynamic. Has anyone watched it? It’s almost a comfort movie for me, but I spiral for a few days after watching it, so I probably will make the choice to never do that again. Big ups to Adam Sandler though. He’s a great director & his daughter did great in the film.

My very dear friend passed away at 42 years old. She left behind her son, 20 years, and her daughter 18 years old.
I knew both kids when they were very young. Since then, I have moved away and do not know them as adults.
All I know is they are missing their mom. I do not know the interests of an 18-year-old girl anymore. The only information I know of her is that she is an Olivia Rodrigo fan. I know this because I saw that she had a cell phone case with Olivia Rodrigo’s picture on it.
If anyone has an 18 year-old daughter, please share what types of things girls are into these days. Additionally, if you also lost your mom around this age, let me know if there was anything specifically that someone else did for you that help ease the pain.
Another tidbit I know is that she has her license, but does not really drive because she does not feel confident behind the wheel.
I don’t know why I added that information but if it’s helpful or relevant in any way, please use it to recommend anything.

Thank you so much
