Sacred Vow Page #5

The reason i could carry

her out more easily.

I love you, amber.

- I love you.

Do you know

what today is?

- Yes, i do.

I've got something i need

to take care of, and then

I'll be back.

- Okay.

I knew isabel loved

seeing me hold her mother

In my arms.

Carrying her out each

morning had become an

Essential part of her life.

Our children are more aware

of our lives through our

Actions than we

think they are.

Why couldn't i see that

more clearly when it

Mattered the most?

- Look who's here.

You ready?

- Yep.

- Ready for what?

- He's taking me to school.

- Nice.

- Come on. Let's go.

See you later.

- Bye, mom.

- Bye, honey.

Can we ride

with the top down?

- But of course!

I knew exactly what i had

to do, what i wanted to do.

- You must be sick.

- No, i feel fine.

Very clear headed actually.

No. She's putting a

guilt trip on you.

She's using your daughter

to fix a dead marriage.

This isn't

about our daughter.

- Well, then what is it?

- This. All of this.

It's wrong.

It's been wrong

from the start.

Don't get all high

and mighty with me!

I take full

responsibility.

- You blame me!

- I blame myself.

Your marriage is

dead, boring, uneventful.

It got boring and

uneventful because i didn't

Value the details of our

lives anymore, not because

We don't love each other.

- What are you saying?

I'm saying that

i never loved you.

This was a mistake,

a sick addiction.

I'm always going to have to

live with the guilt of what

I've done with my family and

the shame of what i put them

Through, and if you have any

remorse whatsoever, you will

Get on your knees like i

have and you will beg god

For forgiveness.

I love my wife, and if

she'll take me back

I'm not divorcing her.

You and i are through.

- Yeah, we are.

- Have a good life.

- Go to hell.

- I probably will.

I could finally see

her for who she was.

It was like looking into

the eyes of the devil.

On the other hand, i could

see the beauty and the

Tender nature of the sacred

vows that i had taken

With my wife.

My marriage was everything

good that i'd ever had.

How could i abuse the most

precious gift that i'd been

Given in this life?

Why couldn't i

see it sooner?

I wish i could go back

and change everything,

But i can't.

- Hi!

- Hi.

Um, i need a dozen of the

most beautiful long stem

Roses you have.

Something over there.

Those are beautiful.

Well, you came

to the right place.

Who's the lucky one?

- My wife.

Oh. Anniversary,

i presume.

No. I just want to tell

her i love her.

Um, do you want to

write something on a card?

Would you

write it for me?

My hands are shaking.

Yeah.

Yeah, sure.

What do you want to say?

Um, my darling amber, i

know that i don't deserve it

But i hope... no...

I pray that you can find it

in your heart to forgive me.

I promise

that i will carry you to the

Front door every day for

the rest of our life for

Eternity as the

heavens will allow.

Amber?

Love you forever, doug.

Amber?

Sweetheart?

Amber?

Amber.

Oh. Oh.

Oh!

You see, i believe that

we're put her to choose for

Ourselves, but i guess in

the end you can only hope

That you've learned

forgiveness and hopefully

You leave the world

a better place.

My world has been blessed

because of the two of you.

I love you so much i ache

from it, and a love like

That it doesn't fade.

It doesn't ever go away, so

let that be your anchor

When things seem tough.

I love you both with

everything i am.

I love you.

There's nothing i can

say or do to bring her back.

I don't think there's

anything i can do

To be forgiven.

Amber forgave you

a long time ago, doug.

I know in my heart that the

lord is waiting with open

Arms to forgive you, as well.

You just need to learn

to forgive yourself.

Sometimes that's

the hardest part.

Your broken heart and

sorrow are evident.

That's all the savior

jesus christ asks for.

It's up to you to

reach out to him.

Amber came to me in

confidence

When she first found out

she was terminal

And asked me to give you and

your daughter these letters.

I hope it has the answers

you're looking for.

I'll go and talk with

isabel for a few minutes

And give you some time.

My dearest doug,

i wish you were reading this

Letter under different

circumstances, but there are

Some things i

need you to know.

Life is short.

It's so fragile.

We never know when it's

our time to be called home.

I can only imagine how

hard this is on you

And our isabel.

I wanted to tell you of

my illness, but it came

Suddenly, and i felt

this was the right way.

I want you to know

that i completely and

Unconditionally forgive you.

All that matters now is that

you made the right choice

And you came home.

Is my dad

going to be okay?

He's going

to be just fine.

And so are you.

He just needs a little

time to himself.

He's discovering some things

that are important to him.

Your mom was a wonderful person,

and you remind me of her.

She asked me to

give this to you.

I'm going to go for a little

walk while you read that.

You are the man of

my dreams and the father

Of our child.

Hold on to that.

Above all, baby girl,

don't be sad about me.

Rather look up at

the sky and smile.

Feel the sun on your face

and know it's me warming you.

Be happy, izzy.

May god be with you

until we meet again.

I love you with

all of my heart.

Mom.

i've seen the wise with

this fear disappear...

i've seen the goal caught in

their eyes disappear...

i always come back,

come back...

i'm coming, come

back, come back...

i'm coming home...

i always think back, think

back, looking forward...

what am i waiting for...

i'm coming home, i'm

coming home...

are you here...

i'm coming home,

i'm coming home...

are you near...

i heard the fields whisper

love in my ears...

i've been in

troubled towns...

that beauty found

my side...

i always come back, come

back, i'm coming...

i always come back, come

back, i'm coming home...

yeah, i always

think back...

think back, looking

forward...

what am i waiting for...

i'm coming home, i'm

coming home...

are you here...

oh, i'm coming home...

i'm coming home...

are you near...

i'm coming home, i'm

coming home...

are you here, yeah...

i'm coming home...

i'm coming home, i'm

coming home...
