Until Forever is Done tells the heartwarming and endearing story of a father's ultimate promise to his daughter. It was a promise that he made when she was born and that remained long after he was gone, leaving a legacy for his own children to continue for generations to come.
From her first breaths to the first day of school, from leaving for college to her wedding day, her father was always there. He was her constant encourager, her consistent hope, and her continual inspiration. In a society that's begging for more dependable and unfailing fathers, this story reminds us that some still remain.
You will laugh and cry, remembering the love we have all felt from those that promised to always be there, from beginning to end, until forever is done. This book is for every parent, for every child, for everyone that's had the joy of unmeasurable love for your family.

McDonald, Gavin: - Gavin McDonald currently resides in Rolla, Missouri with his beautiful wife of 6 years, Kylie. They have two daughters, Kinley (5 years old), and Maizey (4 months old). This is Gavin's second book and first illustrated children's book. Since the day Gavin became a father, his passion has been his daughters. His first book, Raise Her Up, was written to his daughter, Kinley, over the course of her first year of life. It follows all the ups and downs of fatherhood and allowed him to instill in his daughter how to live a life pleasing to God. He realized during that year that being a Godly father was now his ultimate goal. His passion followed through to this book, "Until Forever is Done". After experiencing the loss of both his mother and his mother-in-law within the last year, he realized the importance of leaving a legacy for his children that would endure long after he was gone. In addition to writing, Gavin loves spending time with his family, reading, public speaking, watching Cardinals baseball, traveling, and playing board games with his girls- especially Candyland. Candyland is his jam. To inquire about booking Gavin for any events or speaking engagements, please send an email to: gavin_cardsfan@yahoo.com.
