I adore this show! The characters bring this show to life in such a pleasing way. I believe that I am becoming a more caring and compassionate person from watching these stories unfold. I have spend my entire career working with families (early childhood education) - so the care and devotion that the midwives and nuns give to their patients rings so very accurate. I find myself trying to BE like them...and in a world where so many actors create bad behavior, I truly believe everyone should be required to watch this show. So many live lessons! I am already sad for the day when I come to the end of the series.
