Garrett's 1st Letter to Catherine - "Message In a Bottle"

Yes, I watched this movie AGAIN the other night....

Letter #1

Dear Catherine,

I’m sorry I haven’t talked to you in so long.
I feel I’ve been lost…no bearings, no compass.
I kept crashing into things, a little crazy, I guess.
I’ve never been lost before.
You were my true North.
I could always steer for home when you were my home.
Forgive me for being so angry when you left.
I still think some mistake’s been made…
And I’m waiting for God to take it back.
But I’m doing better now.
The work helps.
Most of all, you help me.
You came into my dream last night with that smile…
That always held me like a lover… rocked me like a child.
All I remember from the dream…is a feeling of peace.
I woke up with that feeling….and tried to keep it alive as long as I could.

I’m writing to tell you that I’m on a journey toward that peace.
And to tell you I’m sorry about so many things.
I’m sorry I didn’t take better care of you…
So you never spent a minute being cold or scared or sick.
I’m sorry I didn’t try harder to find the words…to tell you what I was feeling.
I’m sorry I never fixed the screen door.
I fixed it now.
I’m sorry I ever fought with you.
I’m sorry I didn’t apologize more.
I was too proud.
I’m sorry I didn’t bring you more compliments…on everything you wore and every way you fixed your hair.
I’m sorry I didn’t hold on to you with so much strength that even God couldn’t pull you away.

All my love,
G

Nights In Rodanthe vs The Notebook Movies

I have not seen Nights In Rodanthe yet. However, I plan on seeing it on Sunday with Jahnay! Plus we are also going to see The Women. Anyway, I stumbled upon this wonderful photo from the movie The Notebook. I wonder if the movie, Nights In Rodanthe can live up to this! I fear it will not as I compare everything to The Notebook. Even all of Sparks' other pieces of work. Nothing comes close to The Notebook.
