When you are around family, there is magic that happens in the midst of that. Bonding, connection, strengthening of relationships. The sole purpose of a family reunion is to bring the family together!
At least that is what this young couple thought.
Jacob was so excited to unite the family that he has started with his lovely Gia, along with the family that had always had his back, when an opportunity was presented for him to do so. Only to his surprise that going to that event was the biggest mistake that he could've made. Everything that he had worked so hard to build with his wife, broken, and the only way to possibly bring his family back together is with honesty. No matter how hard it hurts to say it and how hard it is to hear it.
Healing can only begin with honesty.
