Jamie had been acting weird lately, then Landon finally told her how he felt. He said "I Love you, Jamie" and Jamie began to cry. As he hugged her, Landon realized she was very thin, his arms went all the way around her, she had lost weight. She told him he couldnt be in love with her, because she was dying.
Jamie had Leukemia and everything became so clear. Landon understood why Jamie was the christmas angel in the play this year, why hegbert freted that he keep coming by the house, why she wanted christmas at the orphanage to be special this year, why she didn't think she'd go to college, why she gave him her bible.
Jamie was getting very sick, very fast. Landon felt in his heart that there was still something he needed to do. He read the bible daily with Jamie and his father even paid for the medical machines to be brought to jamies house, so she could spent her final days at home. Landon prayed for a miracle, for jamie to get better. Then Landon realized what he had to do, what his heart was longing to do, marry Jamie.
So Landon and Jamie had a nice wedding, it was short notice but almost everyone in town showed up. As weak as she was, Jamie was determined to walk down the aisle on her own, and so she did. With her father holding her arm, Jamie walked down the aisle to her teary groom. there wasnt a dry eye in that church! Jamie and Landon got married and he recalls it to be the best moment of his entire life.
Quote: " I was so in love with her, so deeply in love that i didn't care if she was sick. I didn't care that we wouldn't have long together. None of those things mattered to me. All i cared about was doing something that my heart had told me was the right thing to do. In my mind it was the first time God had ever spoken directly to me, and I knew with certainty that i wasnt going to disobey" (Sparks, 202).
Reaction: I really loved the ending of this novel. I feel like it didn't have a happy ending, but then again it did. It would've been great if, jamie and landon, complete opposites, fell in love, got married, and spent the whole rest of their lives together, but that wouldve been too predictable. It wouldve made A Walk to Remember just like all those other cliche romance novels out there. The fact that Jamie doesnt live, takes away from the "happily ever after" ending, but on the other hand, the fact that they both found love and we able to get married before she died, gives it that happy ending that warms people's hearts <3.
