When Gene was diagnosed with melanoma, he had only been given six weeks left to live. It was a shocking diagnosis but Gene decided to use the time he had left to make all the necessary arrangements for his wife Carol, with whom he had been married for 30 years. He cashed out his pension and used the money to pay off the house they were living in. The second step was to arrange a trip for his wife Carol and the rest of the family to Italy. When they visited a specific church in Venice, a priest was already waiting for the couple. It was in this church that Gene’s parents had married more than 50 years ago. At that day, Gene and Carol renewed their wedding vows and had the most beautiful day.
After Gene had died, his wife Carol discovered that he hid hundreds of Post-it notes around the entire house, shortly before he died. Throughout the course of many months, she found one note after another. The notes are beautiful and very personal statements meant to encourage Carol in this difficult time. But Gene also reminded his wife in these statements to fully enjoy every aspect of life, to sell his car and to move on with her life. It was the most heartwarming farewell gift one could ever imagine.
吉恩被告知他患惡性黑色素瘤，且隻有一個半月的壽命。診斷結果令吉恩驚愕不已，不過他決定用所剩無幾的時間為妻子卡羅爾做好能所力及的安排，他倆攜手30年。他首先取出養老金，用這筆錢還清了房貸。接着他為妻子卡羅爾和家人安排一次意大利之旅。他們抵達威尼斯大教堂時，一名牧師已在那裡迎候傑恩夫婦。50多年前，吉恩父母就是在這座教堂舉行的婚禮。那天，吉恩和卡羅爾重溫結婚誓言，伉俪二人度過人生最好的一天。
吉恩去世不久，他的妻子卡羅爾發現他在去世前将數百張便利貼藏在房子的各個角落。在接下來的數月裡，她發現一張又一張的紙條。這些紙條很漂亮，上面寫有非常親昵的話語，都是鼓勵卡羅爾度過困難時光。不過吉恩也在這些留言裡提醒妻子要充分享受生活，哪怕賣掉汽車，也要好好活着。這才是世上最暖心的告别禮物。(聽風)
