Once there, she discovers that Sam has left her a series of letters, detailing both her unhappy marriage and her secret love affair with a man she refers to as "Doc." As Jennifer becomes acquainted with this hitherto unknown part of her grandmother's life, she herself begins to recover from the death of her husband through her romance with childhood friend Brendan, who has his own painful secret

  So sad right...I actually tried to tahan the tears reading, especially his entry to the son in the diary when he finally mentioned that he died...the final part where I really burst into tears was when she reached the letter he wrote for her...wah...cannot stop the tears....and when he was kneeling infront of her office....wah...at least they had a happy ending....really reminds you never to take anything for granted!!!

  I missed so much since my computer started malfunctioning.
  
  I love to read and used to have quite a collection. I still have my huge collection of cookbooks and an assortment of fiction and non-fiction titles. I love to read medical thrillers, literature, and non-fiction.
  
  The last book I managed to read was 'The Five People You Meet In Heaven' by Mitch Albom. Incidentally, I would rate his "Tuesdays with Morrie" as a 'classic'.
  
  I've been struggling to read 'Genome', a book about chromosomes and such. Interesting but hard to digest.
  
  I really miss being online!!! Missing so much!
