A Gift to Remember (2017)

Darcy’s lifelong love of reading has led her to the perfect job, working in a small Philadelphian bookstore. One day, while bicycling to work, Darcy crashes into Aidan - a sharply dressed gentleman walking his dog. Knocked unconscious, he’s rushed to the hospital where he falls into a coma. Deeply shaken, Darcy takes the dog home, waiting to reunite him with his owner, Aidan. As she learns more about Aidan, Darcy realizes he could be the one she has been waiting for. But when the truth is revealed, Darcy learns the picture she created is completely wrong, and that sometimes the truth is even better than fiction. Starring Ali Liebert and Peter Porte. -The Hallmark Channel

"The greatest gift is a portion of thyself." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

“If I am occasionally a little over-dressed, I make up for it by being always immensely over-educated.” ― Oscar Wilde, The Importance of Being Earnest.

Why did I put off watching this movie for the longest time? Why?  It's so beautiful, and one of the most memorable adaptations Hallmark has ever produced!

The actors, from the bit players, to Bailey, to the supporting characters up to the leads were chosen well.  Even Ms. Hill, the author of the novel the story was based, has a cameo here.

The flow of the story is smooth.

It is well-directed, and well-written for television.

Oh my goodness, I'm giddy, and I feel light, and to think in reality I have swollen legs, arms, feet and hands, plus I'm a little bloated at that, but this movie...well, it's like I'm on a magic carpet ride making me forget my selective acrophobia.

ALI LIEBERT and PETER PORTE have great chemistry, and that red dress Ali wore towards the end of this movie is to die for.

TINA LIFFORD and AURELIO DINUNZIO looked beautiful together.  Oops, did I just give a spoiler?  Maybe I better stop.
