    • Trivia

    • Quotes

      Pat Henschel: It's called "Always - I'll Remember This Night."

      [reads poem]

      Pat Henschel: "It might have been just one more walk / Beneath a moonlight hue / But darling - it meant everything / Because I walked with you / It might have been just one more night / A single night of seven / My darling - you were there with me / 'Twas one more night of heaven / On we sauntered seldom speaking / As we passed through Moonlight Lane / Happiness walked there inside me / When you smiled and called my name / Hours fled like winged moments / Hand in hand we walked alone / 'Twas one night I shall remember / One more night to call our own."

    I didn't expect my heart strings to be pulled this much
    Cried like a baby watching this. Incredible love story and very inspiring. Would have liked to hear more about their youth and past, thought the documemtary focused on the present a little bit too much.
