Dear John...

I went and saw Dear John this evening. Two weekends ago my sister told me that I HAD to read the book before we went and saw the movie so I took off all of Saturday and read the entire book. I loved it. I really felt like I could relate to Savannah even though my boyfriend at the time wasn't going off to war, he was still leaving and going into the Army. I wrote those letters once...not knowing when I was going to get one back...not knowing what he was doing or what he was really going through. I know how it feels to have just weeks, days, even hours with someone before they leave for months at a time. I understand. I stood at the airport when he left me and then ran to him when we were reunited just to have to leave each other once again. It wasn't fun but I will always have fond memories of those times.

If you see the movie, do yourself a favor and read the book as well. It is definitely worth a day of reading and make sure you have a tissue or two handy. You may need it.
