Terry’s life would be forever changed by one wrong turn…In July of 1984, Terry Wallis and his friend were on their way into the mountains for some much-needed time in the country. They were driving in Wallis’ pickup truck when suddenly the vehicle lost control and veered off the road. Before either man could steady the truck, it plunged into a creek, taking both men down with it…Emergency workers got to work to pull the truck out of the creekbed as soon as possible. Sadly, Terry’s friend was killed in the crash. Terry meanwhile, was pulled from the water still breathing. Unfortunately, that much time underwater had caused irreparable brain damage. Doctors declared that Terry Wallis was in a persistent vegetative state and would never recover. Terry’s parents were completely distraught, their perfect, strong young son, a man who was about to start his family, had his life stolen out from under him. His mother, Angilee , was the first to be by his side. She was a pillar of strength and hope. But hope alone cannot undo what had been done…Terry had a hard time grasping that it was 2003. So much had changed in the past 19 years. He’d gone through three presidents, missed the September 11 attacks and both wars in Iraq. He didn’t even know who N’Sync was! All of the new information was just the tip of the iceberg; the worst news was yet to come. When he asked for his wife, the truth finally came out. Terry’s parents had been in a bitter feud with Sandi and his daughter ever since the accident. As soon as his comatose form was taken out of that river bed, his parents went to court to claim exclusive “guardianship” of their son, essentially cutting Sandi and Amber out of his life…When he asked for his wife, the truth finally came out.
