Maggie's Christmas Miracle based on Karen Kingsbury's Maggie's Miracle

Megan Wright spent one unforgettable summer week with a boy when they were both teens. And despite a lifetime of heartache and bad choices, she has never let go of his magical definition of love, even if she has trouble believing in it. After college Megan settled for a relationship of convenience. Now she's a high powered attorney and, after the death of her husband two years ago, has been looking for help with her lonely young son. 

Across town, Casey Cummins is still dealing with the tragic loss of his wife. His search for meaning and hope leads him to contact the Manhattan Children's Organization, who connects him with a fatherless child. Life suddenly takes a series of unusual twists, and soon Megan will learn that the teenage boy from all those years ago actually kept his promise, and the miracle she prayed for as a girl is only a breath away. -SOURCE

Sometimes we try to protect people from something including disappointments, but we end up disappointing them ourselves.

This is what happened between Maggie and her little boy, Jordan, who is so much like my dear nephew in so many ways.

The story, though predictable, has a way to get through one's soul...one's spirit...one's heart.

There were heartstrings pulled, but thankfully there were...are more smiles than tears...well, there were tears of joy, so I guess...  ;-)

I won't give the whole story away, but I must say this  is really worth watching.

Thanks for your time.
