"Our love is like the wind - I can't see it, but I can feel it."
Real feel-good movie, but be prepared to shed a few.

After making Joey's Favorites, I brought Nicholas Sparks' A Walk to Remember with me to bed, and reread the entire thing before falling asleep.
I've known A Walk to Remember since first movie-released in '02, and as it inspired an everlasting love for Mandy Moore, it's remembered more fondly than deserved.

re-4*, liked, Mandy.M/7, rewatch(3) }**{ #08#, Mandy.M, story.
