You don’t choose who to love, love chooses you.
A love so real, so pure, and so kind. A love willing to wait and sacrifice for a few months, days, or even minutes just to spend a little time with the one you love. That’s the kind love Nicolas Sparks successfully told in his book A walk to remember. After turning the last page of the book, people in love will surely feel the urge to keep loving, and those looking for love will find the courage to find that one true love.
The story of two couple from different worlds united as one because of love. Landon is famous chap. He is the president of their class and the most sought-after man in campus. Jamie is a preacher’s daughter and a dork. In a strange twist of fate, the two unlikely students are thrown together in an attempt to bring out the best in each other.
But just like any love story, there was a catch. In this particular story, it was Jamie’s sickness. Unknown to Landon, Jamie has leukemia and has only months left to live. She has stopped responding to treatment and just waiting for the time to leave this mundane world. When Landon found out Jamie’s condition, he promised to fulfill every thing on Jamie’s wish list. That includes making a telescope to watch a comet and marry on the same chapel her father and deceased mother marry. Soon after getting married, Jaime died.
Real love, indeed, does the strangest things to people. There’s no knowing that such a simple feeling can move mountains and evoke the deepest emotions from a person. Landon and Jamie’s love for each other was so real. It was their devotion to each other that made me realize real love will accept a person who ever they are; real love will never make demands; and real love will build up and not tear down.
Nicolas Sparks’ A walk to remember was released in October 1999. Three years after the book release, a movie was release with the same title.
