This still brings tears. My children are grown. I miss them so much. Why can't these times last forever? I guess they can in our hearts ... and videos. I'm sure (from the comments I've read) that you have faced many challenges. This video summarizes the greatest hope, love, and beauty ... and is a reason for living life ... not just making it through. I know you understand how blessed you are. I just need to say it again.
this video is so cute and adorable yet its true , a child can make you smile more than a clown or a jester .. when you feel like you cant take anymore hug your kids they will make you feel better they always do ...
you know the music videos, where they seem like they're just a montage of cute "home videos," such as taylor swift's I'm only me when i'm with you? THIS SHOULD BE THE OFFICIAL VIDEO(: It's way to cute not to be!
lovely video! i LOOVE IT ! good to see kids like that, happy and all! reminds me of myself!! but that time is gone and all i have left are memories! i`ll keep that! :) GOOD WORK! keep up the good work!
I've always wished for something like this for myself first as a child then as a parent. It's beautiful. I'm so glad that people are still taking time to put this sort of thing together.
OMG, that was THE cutest video I've ever seen, and it's inspired me to do the same with my little ones :) only thing, how DO I DO THIS? ( i have TONS of clips and pics to work with ) If you get a moment, could you send me an email or comment on my profile and let me ( a serious novice ) know things like what to use, how to get the sound off the video, and how to put in music, and words?! I would be so eternally grateful - WHAT a BEAUTIFUL VIDEO xoxo heart-melting *signed fellow kid loving mom*
I do have a teenager. My daughter, Conner, turned 16 in November. She's only 14 in this. Actually, the little girl that kisses the boy and then laughs, she's also my daughtere, and she'll be 14 in a couple of weeks. Yup, TWO teens.
If you feel the need to say "I knw The Heart of Life is good" then it seems that you have experienced a lot of shit in your life? Other than just watching the news, i mean.
But nevermind that.
The 64000 dollar question is of course: will mr. mayer sue you for copyrights... ?
Hey small world! I've beaten multiple myloma, (still) over 4 years ago. Leukemia can suck but it doesn't suck as much as pancreatic cancer. Yes, I've just watched Randy Pausch's 'Last lecture'.
Here's a hanky.
So, who's the eldest? since they all seem related and they're changing hairstyles and clothes etc.
is she the one kissing the boy with the cap at 1.57?
nice kids. Strike a good balance between smothering and giving them their freedom, you hear? ;)
Congrats on the win. What's the protocol for that?
The eldest, Conner, is the one at 0:44 holding the baby and laughing. The one at 1:57 is the middle child, and the boy in the cap is my baby. The rest? My sisters' kids. I just always seem to be surrounded by them.
Yes, that balance is the key. Although, it's difficult not to smother when you almost lost one. I think I do ok.
wow, i can imagine that. Smother away then! ;) A kid in my class almost lost an arm to cancer, but he somehow grew out of it. thruth is stranger than fiction, eh? :)
Hey you should sent photos of them to a professional photographer. :)
You're a fucking asshole. Saying that Leukemia cant suck that bad. Instead of saying that "Oh, boohoo get over it" at least show that you have a heart, even if its fucked up and black.
This song is the most deepest & most amazing song I have ever heard. No matter what Life throws at you there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. I really want to thank you for this great video it made me cry just seeing other people happy is a blessing. Great video I hope and pray that more things are good in your future.
As if this song didn't already make me cry! Wow, I already loved the song, and cried each time I heard it. But seeing your children made me loose it. There is no doubt in my mind this is the most beautiful song ever made. It's sooo simple but very honest and beautiful!
I'm getting married in October and I know I will have this song play as some point durring the day.
Your a lucky lady! I know you don't need anyone to tell you that though :) . Thank's for posting this beautiful video!
this song changed my perspective on life. It made me realise that we focus far too much on the trivial things in life. All that really matters are the people you love. This video is beautiful!
Thank You! When I first heard this song I thought of my wife, and she would know why. But this video looks like our house, and the house of any parent who Loves their children. I've seen it 5 times and 5 times I've wept like the day My ninos were born. Thank You!!!
oh my goodness... this is the cutest thing ever!!! i absolutely love this song, and you made this video perfect for it... wonderful, i wanted to cry lol it was really good =] very cute kids!
It's funny. They are my children as well as both of my sisters' kids, seven in total, and they all lived with me. When things got stressful, I'd watch this and I'd smile.
aw, thanks!...it began as a Valentine's Day gift for my mother, and ended up being more of a present for me. It is an instant "happy" whenever I watch it.
this was a very good idea. The children are all beautiful, and the song fit perfectly.i love this song.. my sn is based of of some of the lyrics "Love turns the whole thing around."
This is beautiful. It made my heart smile (:
