Story Summary

When Robert and Patti Whitham's son died in a drunk driving accident, the two were wracked with guilt. They felt that had been a bad influence on their son Seth. Seth left two children, Mia and Cole.

Patti and Robert began drinking more. They realized this wasn’t who they wanted to be. They began praying to God and he answered, which reaffirmed their faith and they started to attend church.

He found peace enriching others lives by spreading God's word and playing music. Robert said, “Times running out for some people and I can't stand by and watch any longer.”
