I saw this movie last night and was simply awed and inspired - as an imperfect man, I could personally see how my smaller acts of being a "bad husband" impact and alienate my wife, who is my best friend.

So, Adrienne, you have not only empowered women with this GREAT piece, you have taught/reminded at least one man that listening to and supporting the dreams of your wife is so important.

I am SO saddened by the world's loss, and only pray that your family and friends can use this inspiring work as a way for you to live on through others as well as for their healing in seeing such a lasting classic.

I believe that this will be a movie to take the year's best, and hope that the Academy and any others who provide official recognition will honor this as it should be.

Regardless, peace and hope to all those that you loved while on this earth.

Most sincerely,

Jim Longnecker
