I thought the concept of this book was really touching. I was disappointed, however, in the length - only 30 pages. I hated spending $7+ on such a short story. It was a nice read, but I personally got just as much of a warm and fuzzy feeling by reading the summary. I would have liked to know more about WHY R. Carleson wrote such a letter to his wife, in such definitive way...not just an "as if" story or why he would change things in his life from this point, but actually as if he only had an hour left to live. They certainly must have talked about THAT in his remaning years since writing the letter. That would have made for more pages to really dive into. Overall, like the title of this rating: short but sweet.

This book puts into words what I have always felt, you never know when your last hour, your last minute will come. So it must always be said to the person you love, the true feelings of your heart. I have my soulmate and I could totally relate to this book. It is a book I would recommend to young couples just starting out, as a reminder of what a blessing the true meaning of love is. It was very touching and poignant.

Overview
Richard Carlson's sudden, tragic death in December 2006 left his millions of fans reeling, but even their many letters, calls, and e-mails couldn't ease the loss felt by his wife and partner, Kristine. To assuage her grief, she pored over a quarter century's supply of love letters, reliving the emotions and cherishing her late husband's memory. In a profoundly moving act of healing, she focused on one letter full of particularly apt questions, which Richard had given to her on their eighteenth anniversary, and answered these questions with keen insight and fresh passion. Kris offers her heartfelt response to Richard's moving letter.Both an intimate look inside a special relationship and ...
