Portrait of Love

I never did like dark, forbidding pictures that remind me of a Russian novel.

I want to see this episode. It sounds good.

a blind person has talent for painting.Her work gets publicized.Her biological mother returns.

This is a good one.You dhould watch it.It's a good esp in forgiving.Letting go of the past.

I liked it too. It was great to see their reunion and for Annie to finally understand why her mother did what she did.

Very true.

Gosh....I don't remember this one

I don't think this one is played to often on T.V

I really liked this episode.......it was very sad and she harbored many bad memories of her mother, but it all ended up good in the end.

This one was on yesterday here in MA

nice

When I first saw this, I thought, the writers seemed to have an obsession with blindness, but I did like it. I wish they had mentioned Annie and her paintings again, but it was nice to see Caroline and others take on a larger role. It would have been nice to see the painting hanging somewhere in later episodes.
Since Annie wasn't blind from birth, it was believable she could paint from memories and the relationship with her biological mother and adopted mother were realistic.

This is other good episode. About forgiveness. I don't remember anything, when I was 2. My memory start, when I was 3. I guess, each kid is different. When they could start remembering from when they're were a child.

Although I tend to prefer episodes featuring the main characters of the show, I quite liked this one and was very touched at the end when Marge and Annie embraced. However, I would kind of like a show about forgiveness when the one forgiven doesn't really deserve forgiveness. What if Marge had just decided she wanted to live her own life and left Annie there on the steps because she did feel that Annie was a burden to her? Could Annie forgive her then? It seemed like the reason Annie forgave Marge was because Annie realized Marge was blind.

I also think there is an inconsistency in the episode. Supposedly Annie was left on the steps of the Winoka blind school when Annie was two.....but I believe that Adam was the one sent to Winoka to open up a new blind school a season or two ago, so was there another blind school there before Adam went? I doubt it.

I don't know if many kids would remember stuff from when they are 2, but perhaps because this was so traumatic for Annie and the last time she ever saw her biological mother, that was why she remembered it. Also, maybe she didn't even completely remember what really happened, but perhaps she was told that she was left on the steps when she was 2 and maybe she made up some of the memory in her mind.
