We the good people do not give Rebecca Pearson nor Mandy Moore enough credit. Rebecca portrays the true essence of motherhood with brilliance and honesty from her concerns about her daughter’ weight to her fears about adopting Randall. YES, I as a mom have feared my daughter becoming “fat”! I’ve struggled with weight issues all my life. Like literally I can recall every ?? single ?? time someone has said something about my weight from being called Shamoo (so fucking original) to a kid asking me if I were pregnant (I wasn’t) and I damn well didn’t want my daughter having to deal with living in this cruel world that continuously sets ridiculous beauty and weight expectations on women. I applaud Rebecca for her efforts (failed) to keep Kate safe from the cruel world of being a fat girl. On to meeting super cute chocolate drop Baby Randall, I would’ve had a full blown Mariah Carey drunk on stage meltdown if my child had just died and my husband brought in a adorable and abandoned baby. I can totally see myself cussing my husband out (well not if my hubby were Jack Pearson ❤️❤️❤️), requesting a bottle of Xanax from my nurse, and smoking a pack while sitting beside my hospital window. Instead she was brutally honest, admitted she didn’t want this baby, and in the end loved that child like he were in her uterus right along with Kate and Kevin. Let’s not mention the superb just job Mandy “I’m missing you like candyyyyy” Moore is doing playing not only young doe eyed Rebecca but an aging/older Becky and it’s totally believable and relateable. People let’s take a moment and praise ?? the fantastic character Rebecca Pearson and her excellent portrayal by The Mandy Moore!
“I said no. But your father was so sure I was tired and I was grieving and he just kept pushing me. He was so determined that you were meant to be. Meant to be ours. Sometimes, in marriage, someone has to be the one to push to make the big moves. And oftentimes in our marriage, yes, it was your father. Our marriage wasn’t perfect, it’s true, but none are. And your father wasn’t perfect either, but he was pretty damn close. As close as they come. He pushed a stranger on me, and the stranger became my child and that child became my life. He became you.”
