the most heart breaking scene ever was at the very end where bernice wants to go with her dad and her dad doesnt want her to. he drives away and then bernice starts screaming and crying. i always get teary at that part.

I agree too. It reminds me of Kelly Clarkson's new music video "Because of You". The little girl in the music video tries to take her dad's suit case away and then tries to run after his car because she doesn't want him to go. So sad

I heartily agree with silver rain09 I am a Texas Daddy's girl and I bawl everytime I watch Birdie dance with her Daddy I don't know if it would be harder to see him fade away or harder to lose him young (he was 54) when mine died of a heart attack.. Either way white hot pain to lose your Daddy, if you are a Daddy's girl.

i agree ..the scene where bernice packed her things coz she thought dad was bringing her along.'
also when birdee visited her dad and he showed her a picture of bernice and he said she was her daughter..
i also liked the scene where travis was sitting alone right after grandmother's funeral and justin approached him. you could see that it was him who was most affected by the grandmother's death.

The other scene I found very sad (aside from those mentioned), was the scene where Birdie goes through her mother's wardrobe, finds the black dress and then takes a big, face-in-the-dress breath then breaks down crying. I find that scene really, really sad.

The beginning was also sad when they had then on that dumbass show airing their dirty laundrey and there was Bearnica on row 1 watching, crying her eyes out. Studio folks shoould move the kids out on shows like that, but no, they love the rateing!! Sad scene though.

Saw this again today and still cried at that scene. I also found the scene with Travis on the porch after his grandmother's death deeply touching. Both of these children feel lost in the world, one for lack of normalcy, the other for lack of a constant parent. I really thought HRjr hit it out of the park during this scene on the porch. Great work indeed.

My Dad left us and I am one of four..he now lives abroad..
The first time he left my sister was exactly like little Bernice, screaming, begging her Daddy not to go, then my brothers used to do it
The really sad thing is, you get used to the leaving even though it breaks your heart every time they go and it's horrible having to watch small kids have to try and understand the reasoning behind such actions
Now we are older it's just my youngest brother who gets upset but I wish I could comfort him..but every time he leaves us it's like trying to heal a new wound over an old scar..all over again.

There were a lot of scenes that had me crying but that one really got to me! It bothers me to see any child rejected by his or her parent and you're right. There are far too many parents like that in the world.

This might sound different or "wrong" for a lot of people, but the scenes that hit me hardest were watching the way Bernice treated her mom.
My dad had a cuople daughters from a previous marriage, and I remember growing up and seeing them beat him down and treat him like crap because of the things their mom told them. Years later they've found out that it was all a crock, he never did anyhting but try his best to be there for them and they still treat him badly despite knowing the truth.
So, call it a different perspective, but I felt sorry for birdie a lot of the time, beyond just waht her husband did to her. -

I was watching it again this morning and I can definitely see your prospective. I was thinking about how rude and just plain nasty Bernice was behaving toward Birdee. In fact, she was a bit mouthy and rude to almost all of the adults, including her grandfather who was ill. Remember the scene when Birdee and Bill were trying to have an adult conversation? They had to tell her over and over again to go outside while they talk and I was thinking how uncalled for that was especially when she told Birdee not too mess it up or something to that effect.

The one for me would be the one where Justin is sitting with Travis and they were discussing the "telegram" and Justin says what do you want to do.. go for a walk or something.. and Travis says don't you want to go inside and talk to Aunt Birdie.. Justin says.. Don't you know I came here to see you I BALL MY EYES OUT EVERYTIME!!!
