But I disagree with that. Often, the art of life is finding the hope in the hardest times. So here's to Jellicoe Road and Melina Marchetta, for showing us the way.Martha Brockenbroughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00921299935406060841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2632611338168133022.post-44196896536700854592010-05-21T09:20:57.327-07:002010-05-21T09:20:57.327-07:00The first word that comes to my mind when I think ...The first word that comes to my mind when I think of Jellicoe Road is Love. Its all about love even in the beginning when there is loss. <br /><br />I think your endings are hopeful possiblties not guarantees and so far from cliched and super sweet.Dorethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08676911030014718403noreply@blogger.com
