The story he reads follows two young lovers named Allie Hamilton and Noah Calhoun, who meet one evening at a carnival. But they are separated by Allie's parents who dissaprove of Noah's unwealthy family, and move Allie away. After waiting for Noah to write her for several years, Allie meets and gets engaged to a handsome young soldier named Lon. Allie, then, with her love for Noah still alive, stops by Noah's 200-year-old home that he restored for her, "to see if he's okay". It is evident that they still have feelings for each other, and Allie has to choose between her fiancé and her first love.

An old man in a nursing home reads a story to an old woman each day. The story he reads follows two young lovers named Allie Hamilton and Noah Calhoun. They met one evening at a carnival many years ago. Allie's parents separate Noah and Allie. They disapprove of Noah's lack of wealth, and move Allie away. After waiting for Noah to write her for several years, Allie meets and becomes engaged to a handsome young soldier named Lon. In a local newspaper, Noah's picture catches Allie's eye. He is standing in front of a fully restored, 200 year old home. The article is filled with praise for his accomplishments. Allie's heart nearly bursts. The last time she saw this house it was a rotted decaying shamble. She stood enfolded in Noah's arms in the great entryway and listened to his plans to buy and restore this house. Just the way she wanted it. With her love for Noah still alive, the picture pulls at her heart. She has to go back, see if Noah is okay, and tell him about her marriage. They both think the echo deep in their hearts, the one that has lasted all these years, is not shared by the other. The cry they could not stifle. It wasn't over for me.

The director is Nick Cassavetes and the writer is Jeramy Leven. The main characters are Ryan G. And Rachel Mcadams. She is born on November

Flattered by his praise to her planting work and feeling as if she should owe him something, Elisa digs out some old aluminum stove pots for him to fix.

Though a fresh, white stubble was emerging on his chin and rosacea had settled on his cheeks and nose, Jesse youthfully shouted the three words that (something something something like maybe lost their meaning idk, changed path of his life, never failed to soothe him, some shit, come back make this sound good. ) The former choir conductor clumsily forced a Christmas CD into his boombox, brought the sound to the highest volume, and energetically gestured his left hand to direct the chorale of grandchildren around his bed. Despite his inability to vocalize each word, Jesse belted out each note in sheer delight. When “Jingle Bells” had ended, each child received a dollar bill and a handful of hard caramels. His sprightly eyes illuminated with excitement as he eagerly awaited a reaction for his gifts. One by one, Jesse’s four grandchildren bent over and awkwardly gave the left side of his body a hug. As they pulled away, visible tear droplets were streaming down his face. His emotional personality only intensified when his eleven-year old granddaughter sang the first verse of “Bless the Broken Road” by Rascal Flatts. MAYBE SOMETHING ABOUT THE LYRICS IDK Happiness twinged with melancholia filled his lungs, as…

    Having to watch this movie over and over with my wife, I have come to know this movie quite well. The story revolves around a spoiled Miss Scarlet O’Hara. The movie starts off with the moment she finds her (what she feels is her) true love, Ashley Wilkes is going to marry his cousin, Melanie; to Scarlet “getting even” with Ashley by marrying Melanie’s brother, Charles (who dies in the war due to Measles); to marrying her sister’s (Suellen) betrothed Mr. Frank Kennedy, who dies trying to protect Scarlet after a run in with some ruthless fellows; to her third husband and the co-main character of the story rich, playboy and black sheep to his own family, Mr. Rhett Butler. The story line of how this all boils down and the events that take place before, during and after each of these events is what builds this story up to see how a jealous and less than perfect Southern Belle such as Ms. Scarlet O’Hara, why Tara is so important to her, why Scarlet is the self-efficient, will do what it takes to make this work kind of women and how she made it through all that she endured.…

    I noticed how abandoned the farm was. It needs much work. Jake told me about his parent’s death. And how now I am the only family he has. I knew what I had to do. Jake was responsible for the outside and I had to tend to the house. We unloaded the wagon and walked up to the house. It was way bigger then my parent’s home. This house can have fit three of them inside of it. Jake told me it was built in the finest wood that was available in his town. When the doors and windows were open the house came to life. Dust flew with the gust of wind that came in. As a married lady I was the woman of my own house now. It’s my job to make this home for my husband and me. Jake went out to tend to the yards and animals. And I started repairing the house. I like candles in the rooms to burn most of the dust smell. The sun just wasn’t doing its job today. I heated water in a pan to scrub the walls and floors. After all the dust was gone, I heated more water and gathered all the fabrics to clean them. When I was hanging the fabrics on the line I watch Jake feed the horses he looked so busy. Once the house was done I went out to his mothers garden. It needed much help also. I gathered all the vegetables that were ready. Pulled up the weeds that have grown over the time it was not tended to. Golfers poked their heads out, curious with whom was out in their garden. I was on edge, I was afraid of snakes and if there were weeds mice and golfers there…

    All that nervous energy that bounced in him, slammed his heart into his chest, kicked him in his stomach and fried his nerves was all gone and he felt incredibly hollow. Now his face itched from being held in a certain position and his lungs fluttered when they finally expanded. His ribcage was gone and his heart was reluctantly easing itself back to it’s normal pace. He stretched his fingers before him and considered, that maybe, maybe he was overreacting over a crush, but it was L of all people, so he stewed in it. He continued on alone, but didn't feel like walking, so he sat down before one of the films that allowed the survivors to tell their stories during the Holocaust. He half listened half pitter-pattered on his phone until someone sat close to him, he scooted over. Then he felt a very small tap on his arm. He looked up and found a faceless young woman holding this baby, this gorgeous, fat, wide eyed baby. Dark eyes, soft dark skin, and smooth curly hair. The baby gave him a gummy smile and tapped on his shoulder…
