Synopsis
Love is family.... One moment, Justin McGee’s pulling twin calves. The next, he wakes up in a hospital bed with a heart monitor beeping beside him. Love is endless.... He loves his adult sons. But he’s tired and they have families of their own now. Watching his sons with their wives is bittersweet, because it makes him miss his beloved Beth all the more. Not a day goes by when he doesn’t think about her... want to be with her. Love is timeless.... And suddenly she’s there. With him, beside him in some strange way he doesn’t understand. But speaking and reminiscing with her about the day they met and how they fell in love seems more real than the heartbroken family holding vigil at his bedside. Love is abiding.... Justin’s love for Beth has only strengthened over their years apart and he’s longed to see her again. Finally, that time is here. Who has the greater claim on him, his family... his grandchildren... or the love of his life?
