Poor Mrs. Lowe. (potential spoiler)

Watching this movie in my younger pre-parenthood years, I thought she was a pain in the butt, trying to interfere with Leonard's awakening and his chance to fall in love.

Now I have my own children, and I can't imagine what it was like for her to lose her child for so many years, only to have to face that he wasn't a child anymore, then to lose him again.

Totally agree! When I was younger I thought, how terrible to take him off of the medicine. Now I realize how hard that must of been for her, although she did it because she loved Leonard so much and didn't want him to suffer.
