He feels that Gabby would want him to fight for her so he lets her keep living off of the machines although doctors advised him otherwise, Travis just wasn’t ready to let her go yet. After a massive hurricane their special gazebo is ruined and was blown into the ocean near their house.

As he arrives she awakes from her a coma, a twist not even I was expecting from Nicholas Sparks. The movie then ends as the family is reunited down by the shore to enjoy a nice dinner together, at
