How far will you go in the name of love?

I just finished reading The Choice by Nicholas Sparks, the same man behind The Notebook, Nights in Rodanthe, Message in a bottle, A walk to remember and many more. Although I have seen some of the movie adaptations from his books, this is my first of his books. I grabbed it at Craig's library and once I started reading I can't stop.

The story centers on Travis and Gabby. Travis is an easy going bachelor who seems to have everything in life except a stable relationship and Gabby, a redhead that becomes his new neighbor. To make a long story short, despite their constant squabbles they found love in each other. They got married and started a family. It is a feel good story, a perfect love, a perfect marriage until one day something totally unforeseen came along.

I was in this part of the book when my husband surprisingly came in from work and found me in one corner of our very humble trailer wiping surreptitiously the tears in my eyes with the hem of my shirt. I saw panic in his face thinking something was wrong in me. "For goodness sake, what happened to you?" "Nothing, I was just reading this book". "What's cooking for dinner?" OMG, I was engrossed with the story that I didn't even realized it was time to report to domestic job once again.

Anyway, to continue with my story, Travis and Gabby were involved in a serious accident. Miraculously, Travis only suffered a broken bone but unfortunately, Gabby went an extended coma. 12 weeks in coma and Gabby had showed no signs improvement so Travis had to make a choice - a very difficult decision that involves life and a love so hard to let go of. Will he consent to discontinue her life support system or spend all his money paying a nursing home with a very slim chance of hope of recovery? What if she wakes up one day? Then it is too late.

It is a very heartbreaking story. What if it happens to you? What will you do? Even with the living will, it is very painful to let go of the person you love so dearly. God gave us breath and let God take it away.

How far will you go in the name of love? I will go as far as it takes to prove that miracle still happens
