Be prepared to cry

I was able to watch this episode on UP (Uplifting) Television. This was one of my favorite shows when it was originally aired and I thought I had seen all the episodes. However, either my memory has gone bad or this is an episode I missed. Anyway, this episode was very moving in so many ways. I don't want to give away anything, but there were many emotional issues within this episode, all of which were handled with a God view. This episode, which originally aired in 1998, brought forth the issues many families face, especially in today's 2014 world where marriage is not considered "for life". As most of the stories in this wonderful series do, this episode stands the test of time. The performances by Bruce Boxleitner, Melissa Gilbert and Zach Graham were a great part of making this a very believable episode. And Roma Downey, John Dye and Della Reese were perfect in their roles, as always. I thoroughly enjoyed this episode.

Favorites- this is one! Married couple Bruce Boxlightner & Melissa Gilbert are GREAT

This episode was heart-wrenching for me, and was my all-time favorite of the series, because it summarized all that was happening in our family at the time! Our 19 year old son was messing with drugs, My husband, his dad ignoring the problems. Me, I was completely fed up and hiding divorce papers in a drawer in the closet! I knew my owns faults were part of the problem, but his dad's lack of discipline was the main issue. I was so ready to say "I'm DONE!" It was so very hard to watch this episode and I felt like GOD aired it JUST for me.. unreal! I had a hard time finding out which episode was the right one, and so many of the shows were amazing but this one is it! I Love this one--have plenty of Kleenex handy if you can relate like I did--I was a sobbing mess when this episode finished. I couldn't wait to show it to my husband when he came back from working in the bay area. It really left our whole family with a new appreciation of people needing to stick together no matter what!

One of my absolutely favorite moments in the whole show!!!!!!

~THANK GOD FOR "TOUCHED BY ANGEL" + I LOVE BOTH MELISSA GILBERT AND BRUCE BOXLEITNER TOO~ This episode really completely had everything, and when they both were ready to give up on each other they played the video tape their dead son had made for them and then they both started to cry and reconcile WOW WHAT A GIFT FROM GOD WHEN THEIR OWN SON HELPED THEM GET BACK TO EACH OTHER!!!!!!! And + when the song THROUGH THE YEARS played I couldn't stop crying in that scene + I needed to know what song it was then also!!!!!!

I'm so grateful for "Touched by Angel" this show have taught me a lot and this show reminds me very much about "HIGHWAY TO HEAVEN" which Michael Landon + Victor French is in it (iconic because they both are in the TV-series LHOTP including Melissa Gilbert from this episode because she is Michael Landon's character's daughter in that show)
