I love The Notebook and always find myself in a pool of tears towards the end. Allie and Noah’s love was amazing and the story line? It was fantastic! I think they did an amazing job at making it as realistic as possible. Glad you were finally able to watch the movie.

Oh I love Notebook. The end always makes my cry like a baby – and I don’t usually cry when I watch sad flicks. That one – oh dear – it is so emotional!

I think in a way it portrays love in a realistic manner – of course when you’re young it is all about infatuation, sex, and excitement, but in the end, it is about staying there til the end, about commitment, and a strong companionship. At least that’s the kind of love that I want. Haven’t found it yet, but hopefully I will – someday.

So, I agree with you, Jenn… Love is not about the “novelty and infatuation”.

Aw, that is so sweet. I’m glad you see it that way. It’s so sad that most people don’t see love that way anymore. I think that people should. And yes, there is always next year for NaBloPoMo!

I volunteer at a nursing home with an Alzheimer’s ward. There is one gentleman who lives in the apartment section of the home, where it’s basically like your own home but with maid and laundry service. He moved in when his wife’s Alzheimer’s was getting into the advanced stages so he could be near her all the time. Every day when he wakes up he goes into the Alzheimer’s ward and sits with her, just holding her hand for hours. She doesn’t remember him. She introduces him to everyone as her “new good friend.” They have the same conversations every day. It’s absolutely heartbreaking. He cried when he told us about it. But that, that is true love. Alzheimer’s is something I care about. It’s genetic in my family, which does scare me. I try my best to ensure I do everything I can to keep my brain active and healthy. But if I do develop the disease, it comforts me to know that the love of my life would be with me, even if I don’t realize it.

Notebook is my fav move! I was like you, got teary eyed at the end. And yes, that is what you call real love and I wonder if I will ever find it? lol.

Alzheimer’s is definitely the scariest disease. I really hope they find a cure before we’re old.
