— “After Rachel left for college, there was a... hole. […] For the first time in 40 years, I looked at Virginia without all of the noise, without all of the distractions. And I couldn't remember what it felt like when I could not walk down the street without holding her hand. I mean, she was the same woman I fell in love with. She hadn't changed. But somehow, everything was… different. We'd lost something along the way, you know?”
非常にテンポの良いストーリー展開。世界中の国々、美しい光景を数分毎に巡る。
CarterとEdwardが最期の数ヶ月間を思い切り楽しんでいるので こちらも鬱々としない。
この作品のテーマは「病気」や「死」などではなく、「喜び」なのだと思う。
