The
Music
"Ain't
No Mountain High Enough" by Marvin Gaye and
Tammi Terrell, theme for the movie "Stepmom"
with Susan Sarandon and Julia Roberts.
The
Story
When I was staying with Robyn and her family
during the last few months, we got this movie and
Robyn, Kaley, Morgan and I watched it together.
(All of us with big boxes of Kleenex.)
There
is a great scene in the movie where the mom, who
has been diagnosed with cancer, has this song on
full blast and she's dancing around with her son.
Her
daughter, who has been upset with her, comes in
the room and they all end up singing with curling
irons for microphones and dancing around the house.
Robyn
loved this song and I put it on her computer for
her and we'd play it all the time. One time when
Kaley and Morgan were home, we started playing it
and Robyn grabbed curling irons and thrust them
into our hands and we all started singing and dancing
to the tune.
It
is one of my fondest memories.
