  • I whached this video six months ago and fell in love with it and the song, 3 months ago my Mum died and now this song means the world to me!

  • quite matching to my story in real life

    loved to see this way

  • WOW! I loved this. Hardley enough words for me to describe this short film. It made me cry, smile, and at times laugh out loud. As i watched it was a feeling that i too was part of this family. This is a most precious piece film. No hollywood producer, or writers could have done this better. AWESOME! This is what family is all about. What a great LOVE I seen here today.

  • beautiful, from glasgow,scotland.

  • This is an inspirational life that your family lives. I never got to know my grandparents, I am the youngest of 7 kids. You made an amazing video and it made me very happy, I enjoyed every minute of it. I have a brother that I haven't seen in over 20 years, His is a more common name, so I never thought about putting it in a search engine. I loved the songs in the video also, I always love music and it is an important part of my life, even though I can't play an instrument.

  • yeah very good, the intro is quite long theres a lot to read, but the rhythm of the shots is awesum, the pace of the cuts is lovely, did you film it all? if so very good , even if you just put it together excellent, yeah rele well done, very moving, xxxxxx take a look at my home made lil movie let me know what you reakon xx
  • This is a beautyful video. Really Good. What is the song that sound before the end, when appear "you have watching a timid production" ?? A greeting and thank

  • This is a very amazing story and as i watched it i realized how much i really do take my grandparents for granted but watching this has really changed my mind about the way i treat them.thank you so much.i came to listen to sitten on the dock of the bay and ended by learning something and realising how good my life is just a little bit more. once again thank you!!!

  • this video is beautiful!

  • I come from a very disjointed family and watching your video made me envious, I am always of the opinion that life is never over until it is over and seeing your grandad must give a lot of people a lift when they feel to old for things.Truly an amazing story, thanks for posting it and as has been said before brilliant video editing and music. Many thanks, Steve, Essex, England. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

  • Thank you!! I'm pushing 70, a grandpa with issues with grandkids. Your movie pulled the blood right from my heart.

  • I came to hear "Sitting on the Dock of the Bay", finding your videos. Well done. Very moving. Thank you for sharing your family with us all.

  • Wow!

    That was amazing,

    As a 15 year old boy living in England from quite a well off family that really touched me.

    I agree with "Apocalypsesnowboards", you should enter it in a short flim competition. The others wouldn't stand a chance.

    I sang "(Sittin' On) The Dock of Bay" in choir today and wanted to hear it again then i found your two videos.

    A blessing from God.

    Thank you for sharing this amazing story with the rest of the world and I'm very glad it ended up happy.

    Great Video.

    From will

  • this is a very nice short film, i think you should upload it on europ shortfilms

  • Stunning work! You have made probably the best "homemade" memorialization I've ever seen.

  • GREAT VIDEO!!! very sad though... my eyes started to water like many others! great job editing!

  • Great story, and tremendous job on the video. Your Grandpa seems like a genuinely amazing person.

  • 10 minutes in and my eyes began to water, truly inspirational story and iv never ever seen one like it. absolutuly amazing and things like this show me that there is hope in this world and always will be. great job becuase i know how hard it must of been for you. amazing.

  • stunning cinematography, and a very human story.

    congratulations on your happy ending!

    (I've attached my similar story.)

  • wow, just wow. heartwarming is the only word to sum it up.

  • THIS, Timid, is a BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL STORY! Thanks from the bottom of my heart

  • Paused at the edge of my seat crying my eyes out. A wave of emotion, as this reminds me of my own story. Just recently I got the opportunity to reunite with my family that I had not seen in 12 years. I can't imagine how it must have felt after 49 years! I can't describe how good it feels to have had this happen to me after all these years. I got that chance I never thought I would to be with my Nana before she passed on. I was 12 when she (and the rest of Mum's family) last saw my brother and I.

  • I must say your video hit home in away, i am originally from Michigan myself, well mich/wisconson border. in all your words,music and your deepest thoughts were so heart felt, thankyou for posting this......... great, real great job.......Steve...

  • congrats to all of your lovely family Helen, Susan, Rob yourself, all others but especially Frank.

  • Nice video. It's quite an amazing story. You have some interesting family history. I wrote a tribute to my Norwegian grandfather who was a ship captain in WWI. Take a look :)

  • Beautiful Ian. Makes one long for a family like yours.

  • This video is very touching ! Your family should be proud of you ! Thanks for the emotion !

    Walyd

  • Again, Beautifully done. Definitely a happy ending to a sad story. I am glad you all found each other. Enjoy and cherish the rest of your lifetime together.

    Hugs for all of you!

  • I'm glad you had a happy reunion with your grandfather. This happened to my mom too - though her father, a US serviceman from Michigan, left my grandmother and my mom in the Philippines. With the help of the internet, we located him in 1996. But he died shortly thereafter at age 57. At least my mother spoke to her dad for the first time in her 37 years of life. If only we experienced what you and your family experienced - his children aren't really thrilled about us. Anyway, great job!

  • I just watched the video Sandy Lake memories by your request and I have to say it is the best film you made and that it is my favorite. Your family is so lucky to have someone who cares so much to spend the time putting something like this together. It was the best 24 minutes I have ever spent on youtube. I wish you and your family all the best. Thank you for sharing.

  • Incredible video, but what a story, seriously I'm speechless, but in a very happy way. Thank-you so much for sharing:):)

  • Hello mate. Met you at geen park tube when I was busking. Thanks for the invite, thanks for a wicked comment and I'd just like to say how relieved I am that you're film is absolutely beutiful and I can return praise in equal measure without having to politely feign it. Keep in touch. Steve and Henry.

  • Amazingly heart warming movie, I loved it. I live in Laurium and am a senior at Calumet High School. It really is a small world. I live three blocks from the house where your grnadfather's sister used to live. My friend lives next door to it. I am glad you had a good time in the Copper Country!

  • This is truely one of the most moving pieces i have seen on here, You are very talented and your family are very lucky that not only have you acknowledged their being like this but also for putting so much emtional effort into it, they obviously mean so much to you, You should be proud of yourself. I wish your family every success and watching this "movie" makes me wish your family every happiness they deserve it!

    Best wishes from Ireland ... Sile!

  • A superb piece of film. I dont want to know how long it took you! They get better and better everytime mate. The real bonus is that is has a point to it, a reason for putting the effort in. Every minute taken to do it was worth while son, well done.
