This was a real good grown-up film from Hallmark. I hadn't seen much of Mark Deklin before but he gave a realistic believable performance as a Master Sergeant who loves his Mom, his family, his dog ,and of course falls in love with a Nursery owner/designer played by Danica McKellar. In fact the scenes with Mark & Bess Armstrong who plays his Mom are heartfelt and great. In my opinion this is Danica's best role I've seen her play for Hallmark with a full range of emotions and depth of acting. Trust me, this is one of the better ones !
