Very Meaningful

Rating: 10/10 (27 August 2006)

My husband and I had gone out to dinner to celebrate our 58th Anniversary. We had planned to watch a new Pay-For-View Movie when we returned, but happened upon "The Notebook" and were soon mesmerized from the beginning to the end. It was a perfect conclusion to a memorable occasion, especially for two who married very young, have been together so many years, and are presently approaching the age of 80. We had to choke back tears at the end.
I was especially impressed that, before she had completely gone into her own world, Allie had written a note asking Noah to read the story to her when she could no longer remember the events. She was completely lost in the plot each day when he came to read to her. I wanted to believe that she would eventually find her way back to reality, as she did, if only for a short time. The most tender moment, of course, was when she again realized who Noah was as he climbed into bed with her.
Our daughter was thrilled that we had shared this movie together, as she had seen it and also owns it. She thought, as did my husband and I, that it was very special.
