About This Quote

We were there, together, and in the next room I could hear that monitor beeping. Keeping track of another heart’s beat and giving enduring, solid proof of our own. This quote is a wonderful depiction of a scene from the movie “The Holiday” staring Cameron Diaz and Kate Winslet. In this scene, Winslet’s character is lying on a hospital bed as she watches her husband watch over her heart monitor.

In the background, her husband is listening intently as his wife’s heart rate increases. He then goes to the mini-fridge where he has set up an IV drip with his own blood to keep her hydrated. This scene describes how life can change in the blink of an eye and how we should always be prepared for that change.
