霍莉（希拉里•斯万克饰）与盖里（杰拉德•巴特勒饰）深爱彼此，虽然有时候他们会有争吵，可是这些都是他们生活中的情趣。霍莉感觉自己已经找到了最爱，盖里却在他们婚后罹患脑癌并逝世了。自此，霍莉便生活在失...

Gerry: [in his letter to Holly about their first meet] I had no idea what you were talking about, but I couldn’t help loving the way you talked.
 盖瑞：[在信里回忆和霍莉初次见面的情形] 我不知道你在说什么，但是我情不自禁地爱上了你说话的方式。
 
 Patricia: You know the worst thing for a parent... second after losing a child? Watching your child head for the same life you had. You can’t stop it. It’s a terrible, helpless feeling. Makes you angry all the time.
 帕崔夏：你知道对父母而言除了失去孩子，最伤心的是什么吗？是看着自己的孩子走自己的老路，却无法阻止。这种感觉太可怕，太无奈，让你怒火难消。　
 
 Patricia: All alone or not, you gotta walk ahead.
 帕崔夏：无论孤单与否，你还是要走下去。
 
 Gerry: [Gerry’s last letter to Holly] Dear Holly, I don’t have much time. I don’t mean literally, I mean you’re out buying ice cream and you’ll be home soon. But I have a feeling this is the last letter, because there is only one thing left to tell you. It isn’t to go down memory lane or make you buy a lamp, you can take care of yourself without any help from me. It’s to tell you how much you move me, how you changed me. You made me a man, by loving me Holly. And for that, I am eternally grateful... literally. If you can promise me anything, promise me that whenever you’re sad, or unsure, or you lose complete faith, that you’ll try to see yourself through my eyes. Thank you for the honor of being my wife. I’m a man with no regrets. How lucky I am! You made my life, Holly. But I’m just one chapter in yours. There’ll be more. I promise. So here it comes, the big one. Don’t be afraid to fall in love again. Watch out for that signal, when life as you know it ends. P.S. I will always love you
 盖瑞：[盖瑞写给霍莉的最后一封信] 亲爱的霍莉，我的时间不多。可能有点词不达意，我的意思是，你出去买冰淇淋，很快就会回来。但是我感觉这是最后一封信，因为只剩下一件事要对你说了。而这件事不是要你去回忆我们的过往，也不是要你去买一盏台灯——没有我，你能照顾好你自己——而是我要告诉你，你让我莫名感动，你改变了我。霍莉，你的爱让我成为一名男人。我会永远感激你……永远。我要你答应我一件事，答应我无论什么时候你难过了，迷茫了，失去信心了，你一定要站在我的角度看你自己。感谢你做了我的妻子，我今生无憾。我真幸运！你成就了我，霍莉！可我只是你人生的一个章节，我保证后面的故事会更长。所以如果故事的高潮部分到来，不要怕，再投入地爱一次！当你知道人生快要结束的时候，要注意那些暗示。附注：我永远爱你！
 
 Holly: Dear Gerry, you said you wanted me to fall in love again, and maybe one day I will. But there are all kinds of love out there. This is my one and only life, and it’s a great and terrible and short and endless thing, and none of us come out of it alive. I don’t have a plan. Except, it’s time my mom laughed again. She has never seen the world. She has never seen Ireland. So, I’m taking her back where we started. Maybe now she’ll understand. I don’t know how you did it, but you brought me back from the dead. I’ll write to you again soon. P.S... Guess what?
 霍莉：亲爱的盖瑞，你说你希望我再投入地爱一次，也许有一天我会的，可是爱有很多种，而这次是我一生中惟一的一次，美好、糟糕、短暂、永无止境的一次，我们谁都没法活着走出来。我妈妈再次开怀大笑的时候，我才有了新计划。她从没环游过世界，从没见过爱尔兰，因此我要带她回到我们俩开始的地方。也许她现在会明白。我不知道你是怎么做到的，但是你让我起死回生了。不久我还会给你写信。附注……猜猜会是什么？
