what's the movie where the mom is on her deathbed and draws her daughter a life map?
So i watched a movie a while ago, and i cant remember what its called or who the main actors/actresses are. But i do remember the story line.
At the beginning of the movie, there is a sick mother with a little daughter, who is around... i would guess around 8 years old? she might have been a little older or younger.. but shes roughly around that age.
anyways... so the mother is on her deathbed, and she's explaining to her daughter that its almost time, and she's going to die. and i think the mother is an artist, if im not mistaken (but again, this fact is a little blurry). so the daughter is really scared and doesn't know how shes gonna grow up without her mom, and so the mom makes the daughter get a piece of paper, and kind of draws out a little map of the daughters life, just in case the dad doesn't know what to do. and she imparts the knowledge that only moms have. like.. she says stuff like, when you start dating, make sure you never change yourself for someone else... 16 is a good age to start dating, then at 18 you're gonna go off to college, and then when you're x years old, this is gonna happen, and once u finish college, what do you wanna be when you grow up? so the daughter tells her "i wanna be .... " and the mom goes "yeah, that's a great idea. And then you're gonna meet the guy of your dreams at x age, get married at x age, have babies, etc. like basically just draws out a rough time line about where she thinks her daughter's life is gonna go, how shes gonna grow up. and the daughter keeps this paper when she's all grown up, and you can see that everything her mom predicted, she made come true. She went to college, became what she decided she was gonna be on her mom's death bed, and made her mom's plan basically come true. Then, she meets the guy of her dreams, but she cant marry him because it wasn't the right time according to this plan her deceased mom had given her so many years ago. and the mom had only given this plan to her as kind of a safety net, it wasn't a written-in-stone thing, and her boyfriend had to try to convince her about it, and whatnot.
it was a REALLY REALLY good movie but i cant remember what it was called! does anyone know??
