I read Message in a Bottle recently. A beautiful poignant love story. (It left me feeling a bit emotional and lonely but I have gotten good at making myself busy and pushing such feelings aside.)
The book definitely hit home for love lost and true love again discovered.
I would recommend Nicholas Sparks - Message In A Bottle to anyone, but not to those that are still dealing with the loss of their mate without the comfort of a new true love.
I was able to relate to both sides. Thankful.
His words of "And I watch with breaking heart as you slowly fade away. I find myself straining to remember everything about the moment, everything about you. But soon, always too soon, your image vanishes and the fog rolls back to its faraway place and I am alone on the pier and I do not care what others think as I bow my head and cry and cry and cry."
My dear dear friends... these dreams will pass and I am sorry that you are feeling the pain you are. I can only pray that time will heal this for you.
...and his other words, "...Before we came together, I moved through life without reason. I know that somehow, every step I took since the moment I could walk was a step toward finding you. We were destined to be together."
Does destiny exist? Is it possible that the dearest people in our lives are brought there for purpose?
"...with a gentle touch he said, "Who do you think brought him to you? I know that you will be okay now."
The last dream I ever had he was walking backwards in the white street. Happy, the happiest I had ever seen him in a dream. The next day his brother died.
I had since moved on in life, and was fortunate to have found a love deeper than any ocean, but since that dream I have been completely at peace and he has not returned for a visit. Dreams now are always of L, and L alone. Offering, as he always does in life...
Love, protection, peace, and happiness.

I haven't read this one.
I don't think....I read one this last summer. Shoot. What was it?!?!
the movie, The Notebook about killed me though. Such a great movie.
I couldn't begin to imagine losing my Rav. And I don't know how anyone makes it through losing a love...
Love is such a powerful emotion. I will see if that book is at my library on tape.
I've read the book and seen the movie. They are both tear jerkers. I'm so glad to know that you have now found "a love deeper than any ocean".
Your love does sound marvelous. The Notebook was pretty rough. I don't know if I'm ready to delve deep into emotional lovey-dovey books right now. I'm still busy being irritable and getting the last vestiges of man out of my life! :)
