Happy Valentines Day: It’s a Million Tiny Little Things

by JD

image

There’s a scene in Sleepless in Seattle where, Sam talks to a radio host, Dr. Marcia Fieldstone, about his wife.

Sam lost his wife to cancer.

Here’s how the conversation goes:

Dr. Marcia Fieldstone: People who truly loved once are far more likely to love again. Sam, do you think there’s someone out there you could love as much as your wife?

Sam Baldwin: Well, Dr. Marcia Fieldstone, that’s hard to imagine.

Dr. Marcia Fieldstone: What are you going to do?

Sam Baldwin: Well, I’m gonna get out of bed every morning… breathe in and out all day long. Then, after a while I won’t have to remind myself to get out of bed every morning and breathe in and out… and, then after a while, I won’t have to think about how I had it great and perfect for a while.

Dr. Marcia Fieldstone: Tell me what was so special about your wife?

Sam Baldwin: Well, how long is your program? Well, it was a million tiny little things that, when you added them all up, they meant we were supposed to be together… and I knew it. I knew it the very first time I touched her. It was like coming home… only to no home I’d ever known… I was just taking her hand to help her out of a car and I knew. It was like… magic.

It’s a million little things.

It’s the imperfect puzzle pieces coming together in the perfect way.

That’s what makes it great for a while.

Happy Valentines Day.
