This article: Husband and wife Rawdon and Miranda are soulmates. Their love for each other is palpable as they lie in bed treasuring their 6 month old daughter Quincey. Miranda fantasizes about the speech she plans to make when, one day in their future, she will give this tiny infant away at her wedding.
Tragically, when Quincey is 3, Miranda is killed in a car accident and Rawdon is left alone, unmoored, to continue life without the love of his life.    
Fortunately Rawdon still has Quincey.  Staying as strong as he can he takes her to the roof of a skyscraper and explains that Mommy is now an angel.   It is up here that for the first time they see a vision of Miranda as an angel.   
Rawdon continues to see visions of her. Initially these visions help him—at home she gives him advice about parenting; in Portugal she softens his hardness;  when he hides in the closet to isolate himself she snaps some sense into him and insists that Rawdon keep her mother, father and brother—Quincey's Grandparents and Uncle Jack – firmly in Quincey's life.  
Rawdon explains these visions to his therapist Paula as she helps him with the long grieving process and over a period of years, with Quincey growing before our eyes, Rawdon tries to move on with his life.   
He tries to date other women. Disastrously.  He falls instantly in love with Sam who ends up becoming his good friend and a surrogate Aunt to Quincey.  He dates other including Kimberly (Joely Fisher) who Quincey wisely suggests is far better suited to her Uncle Jack.   And she is right.  When Jack and Kimberly get married, Rawdon is their best man. contains an answer for the question: Who gave Rawdon advice about parenting?, what is it ?
