## Resource

After a chance encounter as kids, C.C. Bloom and Hillary Whitney become lifelong friends. It's our Mother's Day episode, and our moms—Rochelle Brief and Carole Abramson—are here to talk about fire escapes as balconies, irreplaceable robes, and the moment in this movie when Alan cried and James laughed. I could fly higher than an eagle as we see if Beaches stands the Test of Time.
