Soon after, Moira discovers her cancer has returned so she begins preparing anew, her husband, her teenage daughter Jani (Cyndy Preston), and her young son Brad (Andrew Bednarski) for when she is gone. Moira has an especially difficult time dealing with her daughter's denial, and the idea of her husband's happiness after she dies. She continues running her successful art gallery with friend and partner Cynthia (Rosemary Dunsmore) as she deals with the pain of the cancer's progression and the guilt of putting family and friends (Mimi Kuzyk) through an even worse hell than five years earlier. Moira's time is filled with joys and pitfalls as she endeavors to live to the fullest, the time she has remaining with the immortal words of poet Robert Frost looming over her"...The woods are lovely, dark and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep.
