There is nothing acceptable about the way the father acts in this film and the enabling of it by everyone around him - plain disgusting
This is a really irritating and tedious film of someone who drops their faith during hardship and thinks God is a puppet they can manipulate - and people you love are too.

Heartwarming, bittersweet tale of lifelong couple injured in a car accident, faced with the difficult prospect of ending their union when the husband fails to recover from his injuries. Burroughs plays the modern day wife reflecting on her marriage through flashbacks, recalling her over-bearing military father (Bernsen), a future father in law from hell as the young couple attempt to navigate his cruel overprotectiveness.
Bernsen's treatment of the younger husband is manifestly sadistic at times, equivalent to some form of extreme hazing that not even his much-loved wife (Wallace) can ameliorate.
Technically the film is fine if a bit slow at times, although there's a few moments of minor concern e.g. The heart-rate monitor of the apparently dying man was clearly visible at 80 bpm and then there's the scene where Cowan's character is speaking with Pastor Robert (Morris), fighting back tears whilst trying to make sense of her predicament, when a very visible candlestick emerges from her right nostril and begins its journey south toward her quivering lip. I was disappointed the pastor didn't offer her a handkerchief at this point, instead she sort of attempted to wipe it away but instead appeared to consume it. I guess there's no second takes when you're making an independent movie.
Unremarkable except perhaps for Bernsen's wicked turn (he's become something of the dab hand at these gruff father figures on the Lifetime channel), and then of course the aforementioned mucosal moment which is immortal. If you've ever endured the end of life situation depicted in this film, then some of the scenes and dialogue may be uncomfortable, but overall the story is delivered with tact and reverence and it's a sincere effort.

Well done! In all kindness the role of young Jan was so lethargic and melancholy - she showed no emotion and barely smiled. I don't see what attracted Steve to her (besides her hair??).

Ok there something good in movies. It's about the Love story among them. It's incredible love!!! I didn't believe that there's a loving like this in real life!
Anyway the problem is the scenes move slowly. It's a little boring

Couldn't believe it got 7.1 in rating. The story is almost identical with Notebook except it's v. blunt. The acting skill of the casts is the worst in century , i can even feel the awkwardness and stiffness of the actors, of course, Bonnie Burroughs is an exception.

If you want to see a Christian love story this is the one to watch. Without giving away any details , all I can say is this movie had me in tears. It makes you realize, as a Christian, sometimes things are out of our control but we still need to rely on God to get us through.

The script is terrible and low budget. The 2 diff time lines look like all of
the movie was spent on the old part but the new older couple look like shot on low budget with terrible acting. The message is trite and not worth watching. B movie 1 star for cute younger actors.

Based on a true story.
Low bugdet? Um, it's a made-for-TV movie and two-thirds of it is set in the 60s.
Bullying dad? Possibly, but real life for many who grew up in the 60s had this type of family dynamic.
Christian undertones? Well, they visit with a military chaplin a few times - if you believe we should all coexist & celebrate each other's differences, then it shouldn't be a problem.
Inconsistencies? Yes, some, but when have you seen a TV movie without any - never.
Overall: good, heartfelt, love always prevails movie

Very bad movie and only waste of time. The man is paralysed after the accident and neither his heart nor his lungs are working on their own, but he is lying on a regular hospital bed (without any respirator and machines pumping the air to his lungs), but then with some strange metal ring around his head. This is one of those movies, you could watch on "Church TV" channel.

The acting is the worst I have ever seen and the dialogue is so flat.
I would have given only 1 star. I gave 2 because it shows the struggle of Faith.
However as a Christian I found it quite insulting to my Faith.

The storyline was good but the acting was BRUUUUUTAL. Only decent actor was Steve, at times. The rest of the family made it hard to watch at times.

This is one of the very best Christian movies I've seen. I was raised Catholic and have a strong faith. In the same respect, I don't need religion consistently thrown in my face. I think that's what impressed me so much. It didn't push actual religion. It pushed faith. I thought the acting was excellent. Corbin Bernson never disappoints. And I loved his character!! I could easily see a 1960's dad, especially military being exactly as he was!! And how nice to see Dee Wallace as Mom again. I thought Caylee and Travis did outstanding jobs!!

I know this is based on a true story, but it is so unbelievable. I come from a religious background & am happy with that! I think this movie could have touched people's hearts if it took a more real approach. These syrupy movies leave me cold! There's nothing real I can hold onto.

If you like stories based on true ones, this is a great one to watch. At times it seemed to move a little slow but I think it was necessary.
It reminded me some of The Notebook because it switched back and forth from the present to their early days when they met and were dating.

This isn't a movie for those who don't believe in love. Love does exist and is timeless. How do you know what love is about? Well, if you ever experience the sunrise in heaven.
