About this listen

How far would you go to save your child?

David shares a close bond with his eight-year-old son, Chris, but their family is destroyed when David dies. In the afterlife, he is given an opportunity. He is told that he may be granted three viewings by which to look in on his son. The terms are strict: he cannot help his boy. He cannot reach him, or teach him, or in any way change the course of his life.

David agrees and on three separate occasions observes his son’s unfolding story. The first viewing takes place one year after his own death. The second shows him his son at the age of 19. David’s final viewing shows him the final days of Chris’ life. What David sees will not leave him, and he decides to make a simple but impassioned request.
