During World War II, Navy Lt. Neil Thomas bids his pregnant young wife, Caroline, farewell at Union Station. But even before their son is born, Neil's plane goes down in the Pacific and he's declared missing in action. Caroline is devastated. Neil was Caroline's one great love... and for the next 65 years Caroline (Betty White) returns to Union Station on the anniversary of the day they said goodbye forever (Valentine's Day), to salute the memory of her brave and beloved husband. Eventually, a TV journalist (Jennifer Love Hewitt) learns of the touching story and sets out to investigate just what happened to Neil during the war. Neil and Caroline's grandson encourages his initially-reluctant grandmother to cooperate; the TV reporter and the grandson fall in love themselves. (official distributor synopsis)

The reviewer NinadeL said it perfectly. A typical Hallmark Channel. But a movie, which makes the women cry, but also light up, is somehow sarcastically dissed by the men with the notion that if it was only a little bit sweeter, it would be possibly the first film which would make a guy die of a sudden diabetes while watching it.

I hadn't seen a Hallmark film in a long time, but at the time the Czech version of their TV show was available, I knew their work perhaps too well. Today, it's a pleasant reunion with a quality that is not quite common on television. A beautifully told story with the tender Betty White and the adorable JLH. It is impossible to resist a romance that can easily outshine The Notebook.
