It's been more than 11 years since I first saw this movie and watched it at least a dozen times since and recommended it and cried not only for joy but thrilled for hearing the music that I love so much but for what I've read here the reviews somebody I feel his missed the boat here yet I haven't read all the reviews this is the way I see it it's plain and simple if it wasn't for the mistakes made of youth she might have slept with him that night or soon after that night on the second date but as fate made have it Joe did it right by leaving because more than likely she would never met such a kind man like the man she married and not the man that Joe turned out to be. In that respect she truly missed what she had because she never would have had it if it wasn't for Joe and as he gets on that plane I think he finally realized that it is better that he not be in her life because her life turned out better and would be better without him.

For 25 years he lived the life of a boy not of a real man like Ruth has stated her husband was something that is rare to find she says a man who lives in the moment while still being the responsible father of 4
