  • In GOD'S Eternal Spring ------- The petals of a lovely rose may fall and die at summers close - and grief we feel for that brief hour ---- For it had been a lovely flower. it lies at rest on dewy grass ----- so fragrant still to all who pass - Even though it die . . . our Father knows - that spring will resurrect the rose.

  • and so when death makes all seem vain - mankind like flowers shall live again . " all in their graves " shall hear their King - and rise in GOD'S eternal spring --- by Alice Ripper

  • o that was so touching

  • wow , :')

  • touching

  • this is so touching.

  • Wow I want to just say you are amazing for sharing that. I have known for quite a while that youtube is a special website but this just goes to show that nobody can anticipate the impact this one website can have on lives. Thank you for sharing.

  • Aw that was really cute

  • this was completely fantastic.

  • wow i normally don't get into thing s like this on utube however, your words have shown me that with every tragedy you still have to live every day and the biggest problem wit deaths isn't always the actual death but how do u live after every day day by day... and a lot of time people never learn how to cope so there left miserable confused in a world where they no longer no their place but you found yours keep it up happiness seems to be a lot harder to find these days *AM*

  • Beautiful.

  • this is the first time i cried watching a youtube video. thanks for sharing. 4:26 really got me.

  • Thank you for sharing this video!

  • in your brokenness you will see God's best..

    in your darkest day you will see God's shining

    looking at you and waiting for.

    May He blessed you more!

  • 4.26- the words really struck me there.

    Thanks for making a video like this,

    we dont see much of these videos around

    lately

  • Brian? I'm sure your son will be the happiest when you get your laugh back...In my Darker Days, I created characters for myself, so I could still have fun, since I didn't really have any friends to support me.

    Creating these characters are a part of what kept me from killing myself from depression and the sadness I used to experience...

  • But now, I am in HS and have made some really great friends, but the first friends I made were online...I love all my friends, no matter what..and that also gives me a reason to travel too :)but, I love my RL school friends too, I know some friends who I'm gonna stick with..even past HS, the eventual day we Graduate :)

  • So keep on smiling, keep on being positive, I lost my Omi a month ago (Omi's my Maternal Grandma) and she was like a second Mom to me and I know she'd be sad if I wasn't optimistic and happy..so for her, I keep on smiling and laughing. Knowing she's happy whenever I'm happy.

    I know she isn't truly dead, because she lives in my heart, my soul and my memories.

    I've lost a dear friend, my cat PJ, but I'm sure he is purring in happiness, knowing that I try to go on without him. So, keep on going!:)

  • Thanks for sharing this look into who you are as a person and how you came to be on youtube!

  • i cried :(

  • I'm sobbing, and my heart hurts incredibly hearing this, but it rejoices in your resiliency. Thank you.

  • 2:43 is my favorite. You are loved here, for sure. And your little guy is your Angel watching over you from heaven. May you continue to heal and share. Your wonderful.

  • tears**

    Thanks for sharing this with us. Much love from Denmark :)

  • you my friend are awesome xx

  • Just goes to show you that you never know what someone else is going through. When someone is rude, cuts you off in traffic or otherwise offends you, remember they could be having issues that make them act inappropriately. Have a heart.

  • Thanks for sharing your story!

  • wow. speachless. i am a mother and in tears.

  • Well done Brian. I'm very sorry for the loss of your son, no doubt that is one of the toughest things you'll ever deal with in your life.

    I'm glad you find solace in making videos...it's all about sharing ideas, and having those ideas connect with someone else in the world.The "community" is an awesome thing, and I'm thankful for it.

    Keep on keepin' on brother.

  • WOW is right..my god what an amazing Youtube Story. I stumbled on to this video as a video response to gimmeabreak mans video. and you hooked me man. I am also a youtube film maker and I am struggling to find my nitch. I often make short film as well but have recently got into blogging to help me find my voice and be heard. Your story moved me so much, and I am proud to say I am now a subscriber sir. I am sorry for your loss hearing that ripped my heart out of my chest. Thank you for your story.

  • WOW... that was pretty powerful! We're new to the YouTube community and are finding it absolutely amazing to have at our fingertips, the ability to learn about people all over the world... intimate details, not just fluff. Thanks for sharing and God is allowing you to walk in your purpose. Keep up the awesome job... great job! Continued blessings,

  • I have a big knot in my throat right now! Beautiful video!!! Youtube is an awesome community,,,,!! I'm glad that it has helped you! God Bless you and your family!

  • Three of my baby siblings were born partially intact. I forgot what the doctors called it, but they knew the babies were dead and my mom gave birth normally. It's sad because I remember taking the pieces out one by one... SIDS I'm sure is a million times harder. I'm sooo sooo sorry. I can't even begin to imagine how you feel. I hope God will be with you, or whoever you believe in.

  • Just found your video for the first time, you are an amazing person, i wish you only the best inlife and cant wait for more!

  • you are very brave and I am glad you have found a way to deal with the grief. I wish you the very best of luck.

  • i am so sorry for you loss. This is truly a beautful video and i wish you the best on your journey and the days to come.

  • Thank you Brian. I cant seem to swallow right now. Tears are streaming down my face and I cant see what I am typing. God Bless YOU Brian. You are a wonderful father and friend. Remember Blockbuster?? Lets not ever forget that place ok?, because that is where I met a kind and gentle friend, then found him again here.. on YouTube. And now, your an even better man then I met all those years ago, because Andrea has filled you. =D Bless you guys!

  • bnessel1973 get do what you do we all the some in a way some have i was go cry for your vids

  • this is what youtube does for me too...my camera did it, then my camcorder, my characters,..all combined together i have made amazing friends.

  • Wow, man. I can't imagine what you went through. I'm glad YT was able to help.

  • HOW MANY TIMES DID YOU END UP SITTING THERE AND SCREAMING "WHY";"WHY HIM GOD?".Or maybe even thought things like "THERE CAN'T BE A GOD,CUZ' IF THERE WAS;WHY WOULD HE TAKE SUCH A PURE AND INNOCENT SOUL FROM EARTH WHEN THERE ARE SO MANY OTHERS THAT WOULD BE ("WORTHY"). Such a beautiful baby boy!

  • A very brave video. I've just subscribed to a whole new group (your wife, Mary Ann - you have some FUNNY friends!) who enrich youtube. I love your videos, and thanks to Winger1212 for introducing me to your channel. Great stuff, and I can't imagine what it must be like to go through what you did, and I really admire the way you are using youtube in such a positive way. Look forward to your next video, although it will take me a while to work through all your other ones!

    Bye for now

  • Great video! Your story is so much like mine. Great job! I lost my mother recently and I'm working on making a new video soon.

  • Wow...this video was sooo emotionally positive. You are truly an inspiration to anyone who's ever endured such a tragic loss. Your journey here on YouTube has changed the lives of others, I'm sure of that. Just hearing your story was enough inspiration for me to give thanks for everyday.

  • very touching..i too lost a son when he was nine..it is hard to find yourself again..i have a couple of videos of him at school and in hospital but i rarely look at them..God bless you

  • I'm crying for you and for our babies who we miss. I only had two or three videos from before and I have found that for me it's the only place to be myself and say all the things I can't so it's depressing. My attempts at positive haven't worked well but I'm trying. You have a beautiful family, Sweetie. Thank you for just being here and sharing.

  • I don't know if you believe in spirits or whatever you want to call it, but I'm feeling your son's presence pretty strongly. Every time I try to view the response to my previous comment to this video from my inbox, my whole machine jams up. It's not doing this with any other video. Love to your and your wife.

  • hi there i just saw your video it really touched me as i have a 20 month old little boy and dont know what i would do without him,my love goes out to you and your family from uk

  • I randomly stumbled upon your video. I also lost my son a little over 10 years ago, when he was a teen. There is no greater pain; so unnatural for our children to go before us. Just know that your honest emotions that you have shared have touched the heart of many. God bless you, Evan, and your loved ones.

  • Hi i know what its like to lose a child i lost a daughter 5 yrs ago she was 4months old it takes time to get threw it but always remember your child will always be in your heart...

  • Wow! I hope I never know the feeling of what it's like to lose a child. I don't think I could survive it. Good luck to you. May God bless your family.

  • "Ningún lugar está lejos para los seres con imaginación, capaces de comprometerse con la gente, de amar y de vivir cada día como si fuera el primero y el último" (Richard Back) Tu hijo está muy cerca de ti... God bless you!

  • Hey! you really touched my heart... I´m pretty new with this but your video got my attention x your baby´s face on it... I´m a teacher in Caracas, Venezuela and kids are my life... If it works x you, I´m gonna pray for your child from here... It must be very hard for you, I have always loved kids a lot... but now that I´m 2 months pregnant is when I really understand the feeling... please, keep going! I´l pray x you too...

  • Keep going young man. You are authentic.

  • I came across this feed randomly and I'm thankful for that. This guy is an inspiration to us all. Thank you.

  • You know there are few times in life you feel truly connected to another persons life. Thank you for the honesty

  • This is it man....... this is the sincerity that make a difference. If it took your experience and the gift of your beautiful little man to bring this to fruition then you both have accomplished more in this brief time than most of us have accomplished in forever. I do not know you but I thank you and your son.... forever

  • I have never been on Youtube before today and I saw yours and sobbed. Our own baby would have been 16 this past August 22nd. I still miss her but it's easier now to remember. However, I remember wanting to hold on to the grief because that was the last connection I had to her. I applaud your courage to share your story. My heart goes out to you and your family. HUGS.....

  • thank u so much 4 sharing, that was so honest and heart-felt. thank u

  • Wow. I am so glad you made this video.

    It's like a little story. It's sooo sweet.

    I love you, dude! *Group hugs Brian and Lars!*

  • Brian you are the greatest! I came across one of your videos one day and it made me smile - i then later went on to watch all of your videos and i realised that you had inspired me! Inspired me in my life - to be a better parent to be a better person! I thank you! xx

  • This is my first youtube experience today, and I am crying for your loss. Finding the smiles through the tears is so hard. Peace to you and yours!!!

  • speechless, but very impressed. Your story is the most heroic, and the kind that reaches out to people like me... Great year bnessel.. But even more. A great HUMAN you are! (mankind, now roars in applause, and throws roses and all kinds of free stuff at your feet, and then lots of "more subs" coupons and that makes you tear up..) im not speechless now am I?? Youre just superb man.. thats all!

  • I want to post stuff like this, but it's scary.  I'm so sorry about your son. He's such a cute little guy. xxx

  • God bless! You give hope to others who can't find it.
