In this heartfelt story, we spend an evening with Janette and Jan as the cool breeze sets the tone for a reflective conversation. Janette shares how she transformed the farm into a haven of apricot, peach, and other fruit trees, along with a flourishing garden of flowers.
Janette opens up about her humble beginnings, growing up rough and poor as one of 16 siblings. After losing her father at a young age, her mother struggled to provide, and Janette worked tirelessly to help. She recalls her childhood—playing with wire cars, fighting and laughing with the boys, and wearing her signature khaki suspenders.
Though she never planned on being a mother, life had other plans. Janette raised her siblings' children as her own, giving them love and guidance.
The film ends with a poignant reminder from Jan: You can’t rewind in life.
Join us on this journey of resilience, family, and the beauty of life's moments.
