Highly recommended, but keep the kleenex handy.

As they entered into their golden years, they had an empty nest and were ready ... Read More
Rating: - Tear Jerker
Major tear jerker. It was very sweet and touching. It takes you in deeper every second. Your captured with awe and amazement at the mother who cares so much. She loves her son like God would if he was in human form. I loved it. It was so great!!
