I hope it reminds viewers that even when life throws curveballs, as it inevitably does, you can still find strength and perseverance. Judy’s story, and Anthony’s story, is a testament to the power of love, resilience, and unwavering parental support.
It’s a reminder that you don’t need to be perfect to be a good parent. Just showing up with love is frequently enough enough.
