AMAZING

This is a must see film! If you have ever been faced with an unexpected challenge in your life, this will be a great inspiration for you to keep going. Despite personal hardships, Terry stayed focused on the bigger picture, and that was his purpose to bring attention to the struggles of single parents. Everyone should see this film, and ask ourselves what can we do to help others. The film is excellently done, in that it keeps advancing the story, while connecting you with the characters. There is a surprising amount of humor weaved throughout the film as well. This film and the story has applications that are far reaching in terms of target audiences. Whether it be breast cancer awareness, single parenthood, or just simply helping others who are struggling, this film should be viewed by all. My congratulations to Tim, Mark, and their team in bringing this story to the world. A special thanks to Terry Hitchcock for his amazing strength and inspiration to stay faithful and focused to his inspired purpose in life. Everyone should see this film!
