The ending, with Gilbert and Anne in Hester Gray's garden is beautiful and so fitting an end to their old chum days while being a beginning to their courtship. It reminded me of how much growing up can hurt in all its exhileration. Diana's wedding was also heartbreaking in a different way. Gilbert's Christmas gift of a pink enamel heart was a sweet throwback to their childhood days. I loved the moment before her graduation from Redmond when she decides to carry Gilbert's lillies instead of Roy's violets. It was heartbreaking watching Anne with Roy.

It picks up nicely after the first one with Anne teaching school in Avonlea after Gilbert gives up his post for Anne so she may remain with Marilla and they might keep Green Gables. ![]() I feel like I know every word in this one but it was no less magical in its rereading. ![]() 7/3/2023 0 Comments Liz fosslien no hard feelings![]() Easier said than done!Īs both organizational consultants and regular people, we know what it's like to experience uncomfortable emotions at work - everything from mild jealousy and insecurity to panic and rage.
