Dear Luke,

First let me say - I love you...I didn’t want to leave you...

Luke Richardson has returned home after burying Natalie, his beloved wife of 16 years, ready to face the hard job of raising their three children alone. But there’s something he’s not prepared for - a blue envelope with his name scrawled across the front in Natalie’s handwriting, waiting for him on the floor of their suburban Michigan home.

The letter inside, written on the first day of Natalie’s cancer treatment a year ago, turns out to be the first of many. Luke is convinced they’re genuine, but who is delivering them? As his obsession with the letters grows, Luke uncovers long-buried secrets that make him question everything he knew about his wife and their family. But the revelations also point the way toward a future where love goes on - in written words, in memories, and in the promises it’s never too late to keep.

the story was easy to follow and I didn't want to put it down. john Miller made the story even more. I especially liked the first love scene where she got pregnant. Very sad at times so have tissues handy.

I liked the story. I liked the characters. the ending was a bit schlocky but still it was pretty good.

The professional voice over quality of the performance was just downright weird. I can't articulate why except that the most intense moments in the story sounded like a reading exercise rather than a first person perspective of a grieving husband.

anyway I'd give it 3.5 factoring in the narration. his female voice characterizations were cringe-worthy.

Note to self, the next time title sounds likely to require Kleenex....pay heed and buy some. This is more realistic than I thought it would be. I kept hoping the Dad would find his faith. In a way he does but not how I had hoped. So that may be a little spoilerish but hopefully not too much. Hope springs eternal.
