”Love is always patient and kind. It is never jealous. Love is never boastful or conceited It is never rude or selfish. It does not take offense and is not resentful. Love takes no pleasure in other people's sins, but delights in the truth. It is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope, and to endure whatever comes.”
This movie may seem like cheesy teenage romance movie to others, but for me it was way more. It was beautiful. It made me cry. It made me hope for the same kinda love.
“i’m sorry she never got her miracle.”
“she did. it was you.”
