pollyanna was an old old old movie from the fifties about- with hayley mills in it- she was a TERMINALLY good natured and upbead and "lookin on the brite" side kid stuck with a cruddy, crabby old aunt -
somewhere along the line she gets injured - and of course aunt and everyone in the town miss her and wish her well- what a surprise- she recuperates and everyone is wonderful in the end.
ta da-
ya had to be there- upbeat til you die of it or something like tht.
you are i think my dear - oh well, could be worse....
