A Walk to Remember
Part 2 & 3
Landon Carter's life changed the minute he had his first contact with Jamie and it wasn't until she asked him to be the lead in the play, he realized that his life would be changed forever. Jamie wasn't someone he ever thought he would like, let alone fall in love with her.
The play is coming up and although he hopes it is going to be a success, he is hesitant for the one huge scene with Jamie, with the Drama teacher not saying it was "marvelous" he is not sure that he is ready, but the big night comes and Jamie comes out and that's when everything changes. She takes his breathe away, and that's when for the first time in his life he is in LOVE! The play is a huge success and now it's over and all the afternoon walks and rehearsals are over, and he can't believe how much he is going to miss it. Even Eric, his best friend comes to the second showing of the play! Landon never would of thought his friend would of even come the first time.
So now it's time for Jamie to ask for her favor from Landon, and she decides to have him collect all the cans she has around town and to count the money. Although Landon thought the play was the favor, he figures it's for a good cause the kids at the orphanage. As he is collecting he is realizing how mean he was to Jamie over the years and how little money she really collected to give something special to the kids, so he takes all the money he has saved up and the money collect to come up with almost $300. This allows Jamie to buy each of the kids, something to remember. Jamie and Landon go to the orphanage to pass out the presents and spend Christmas with the kids, after all the wrappings were torn off and kids were asleep, Landon gave Jamie her gift a beautiful brown sweater to replace the one she always wore. To Landon's surprise, her gift was her Mother's bible she cherished so much. At that moment, he knew that was the most special gift she could of ever given him and that he would cherish it for the rest of his life.
Then something happened, Jamie started to not look good and started missing school which meant Jamie finally had to tell Landon she was dying of Leukemia and there was nothing the doctors could do. This devastated Landon as he knew there was such little time left, he took the Bible and started to read it and pray for a miracle. Everyday after school he would go over to Jamie's to look for answers with her in her Bible and they would read scripture, hoping for a miracle that unfortunately never happened. Then it finally comes to him, what he has to do...he asks for Jamie's hand in marriage, something that he truly wanted to do as they both have pronounced their love to each other and before she passes on, it's the one thing he can do to make her dream come true. Even though Hegbert is a little hesitant, he agrees to marry them and Jamie somehow makes her dream come true by walking down the aisle slowly. They are married by Hegbert, with his Father standing by his side. The Father that hadn't been there for him most of his life, now has made sure Jamie had all the comforts she needed medically at home. It was a day Landon would never forget and to this day, still wears his ring on his finger to remind him of his one true love.
This was the love story of two people who fell in love and were unfortunately one was taken to soon, but for the other the heart never repaired itself from being broken so many years ago.
I myself, thought this was a great and easy read that I would recommend to anyone. So if anyone wants to read a true love story, this one that you'll never forget!
