knows she must get to him -- and fast They had come through too
much together. If she gets to the hospital in time, they will come

and strength to bring Dr. 'J" back from near death. Next, over
time, she contacts her family and friends for their positive
thoughts and prayers. She begins her long hard journey to "BRING

woman's courage and faith in the face of the bitterest of odds, and
one man's miraculous recovery despite doctor's dire predictions.

faith and love, as the Gaters' begin their trek back to a normal
life. They encounter incredible (and numerous) obstacles from

to other family misfortunes. Their very survival as a family
depends on their determination to hold fast to their hopes and
faith. BRING BACK SUMMERTIME is a soul searching story of a
family's struggle for the restoration of physical strength, grace
and human dignity. A story that portrays the power and strength of
human bonding, prayer and the belief in the power of god to sustain
and revive. This family somehow does not allow itself to be thrown
even by this devastating accident. They continue their noteworthy
accomplishments, as they struggle to deal with the prolonged
recovery of Dr. "J." Their story is truly an inspiration to all.

In the last thirty years humans have probed the Universe, explored
the Solar System and visited with spacecraft some of the most
incredible places humans have ever laid eyes upon. We have expanded
our knowledge slowly and surely, but still now only see a glimpse
of the bigger picture. The Cosmic Keyhole explores the big
discoveries of recent years and asks what's next? How prolific is
life in the Universe? How far back to the Big Bang can we probe?
And what hidden treasures still await us in the hidden corners of
our Solar System?
