My grandpa was diagnosed with Alzheimer's about ten years ago. I didn't know of this until about four years ago. I was my grandpa's little angel. He was my hero. I used to sit on his lap and we would watch the old Shirley Temple movies together. I even started running around yelling, "Grandfather! Grandfather!", to which he would yell back, "Heidi! Heidi!" What I wouldn't give to have that back again.. He doesn't even talk now.. Just stares into space. Help find a cure.. Pray. Please.. Someone..
Carol Sue this is a truly beautiful song which you sing from the heart and I find very moving. Your video editing work here is nothing short of brilliant and complements the song and its message wonderfully. Thank you for your dedication to the cause. I wish you and your family a happy and peaceful Christmas.
Thank you so much for all of your compliments and adding this to your favourites, it means a lot to me Ricardo - you are so very kind. Our Christmas was very happy & peaceful, I hope yours was also. Best wishes to you in the new year ahead. Love, Carol Sue :)
Another stunning performance Carol...tapping into the very core of this disease. The emotional impact of all your videos relating to Alzheimer's deserves the grandest of applauses from me. Mom is proud of you as am I. Bravo, Encore!
Thank you so much Sissy! From the beginning of mom's illness and through, we have stood by each others side. No matter how sad or terribly hard - I have been comforted knowing our love is so strong. I love you with all of my heart sister, always. I am proud of you as in my heart I know mom is proud of you too. Me gonna cry again, lol. ((((Hugs))))
I am flattered Dan, thank you! It's not the best recording but if you would like an mp3 just send me your personal email and I'll email you a copy! :) Merry Christmas Dan!
Thank you very much Dan! Wish I could get it on the radio with a plug for the Alzheimer's Association. Then I would have to do a video of me jumping up & down with joy! hehe... You're very kind, bless you! :)
Has I can say from the people I've seen having this affliction and one which I got to know before it started well.. Lost and Found would be a very polite realist and affectuous way to call your fund raising store. Beautiful song!
Thank you for your support Boucrate, I am sorry to hear of the one's you know who may have Alzheimer's disease. Bless your heart, preserve the mind. ((Hugs))
This is very moving and sends a powerful message.Let's hope someone listens.I thank you again for letting me get involved in this.Merry Christmas Songbird..
Thank you so much Coach Andy! :) I have been inspired to persue this that we spoke of a while back. Thank YOU Andy for adding the orchestration! Your talents and kindness are priceless & touching! Please visit Andy Foyston now on YouTube! Well worth the visit! Merry Christmas my good friend! Love, Carol Sue :)
Very nice CarolSue, It's a novel idea and way over due. I'm sure that many people would love to contribute to the store and purchase from it as well. Many people love to contribute to a specific cause and especially fight a disease that they could potentially have themselves. God Bless.
Thank you Ray & Diana! Your support is very much appreciated. I think so many non-profit thrift stores have become way over priced. The key may be "reasonably priced!" It's amazing how quickly an organazation receives material donations. Yes, I battle with the idea that one day I could get Alzheimer's. Bless your hearts, thank you so much. ((Hugs))
Excellent! Lost and Found is perfect. Bless you for all that you do and have done. There's a long way to go! Hang in there. We pray for you and yours. Jess & Cgee :)
I think that would be a fantastic name..Lost and Found. Alzheimer's is such a dibilitating disease for everyone involved. It breaks one's heart to see it. Very nice video and good luck on this. Great idea. (hugs)
Oh, thank you Rhonda! One vote yes for The Lost and Found store! :) You just made my day! I really loved running the store for the Union Rescue Mission a few years ago. Maybe I was sent there to learn how to run one for the Alzheimer's Association? You're wonderful, thank you! ((Hugs))
Thank you once again my friend Rhonda! I adore how you help others, truly an inspiring gift of love you have to share. You are my breath of fresh air! ((Hugs))
Hi Andy! (((Hugs!))) Thank you my friend! On my wish list for the new year, us doing more songs together! ;) The year went so fast didn't it! Hey, check out We Are Earth (WAE) on YouTube - Maybe do a video response with your video Living Under A Loaded Gun. I think if you checked it out you would really like their project! You rock mister!!!
P:S Andy-Mantrasolo - If you check out the WAE Project please consider you or I doing a video response with our song "Terra Was Our Home" - now I know how cool you can make videos! Just planting the seed for an idea, hint.. hint! lol...
Thank you so much for your support Daniel, (bludolf) truly an inspiration for me with your own project (WAE) as well. I must admit I have been there an done the ego thing, (blush). I guess we all seek approval from others & rather wear our hearts on our sleeve with our crafts. I find it feels better to give and hope than wait and dream when it comes to my music, lol. Bless your heart, thank you so much!
Wonderful, emotional as always. Like the scenes you put together, like the burning candle, the angels and at the end, the sad doll and the smiling one. You're so good!
Thank you Ed! I did get a doll in there! ;) Thanks for the inspiration from your videos to use some of the dolls. Hope to catch you next year for that collab! ;) Wishing your own mom well, Merry Christmast to you & yours! -:¦:-
That was so good Carol, i really admire you and your dedication to this disease, great work on the video editing too..wishing you a happy Christmas and future.
Thank you Uggy! Working with a new video program called Vegas Movie Studio. A bit more complex for me than the Power Director. Oh, for simplicity! lol... I have really been enjoying chatting with you. Merry Christmas Uggy! :)
Wow CarolSue, a lot of pain and suffering packed in your song. I hope that as you've "reached the end of your rope" that your friends here at YouTube could somehow give you a little bit more inspiration to carry with your quest of doing your part in finding the cure for this most unfortunate disease.
Otherwise, you and the sound quality is great***** Fav.
You are so kind Emmanuel, thank you! You, amongst so many here have really been an inspiration. I can only think God led me here to crawl back up the rope, you know. It doesn't need to be the most popular video or anything. If it reaches just one person and helps that is a gift. »»--(¯`v´¯)=>> PeaceXOPeck! :)
Thanks you so much Carol. This coming February would be a year posting and just these last few weeks it has been awesome and humbling at the same time knowing so many wonderful beings like yourself.
Someone said the other "the more we know, the more we don't know" (I think it was 7Lamps); that with what I had in mind regarding how to make the world a better place, that now I'm with our core group all standing and facing uncharted waters, but with inspiration I derived from positivity like yours, I believe we can clear the way for the group following us towards the better new days - where cures for all kinds of disability have been discovered already. MuchLuv&Hugs&LotsaPecks:^)
Boy I can relate to that. The old saying "keep it simple stupid!" haha! I must admit sometimes the more I learn the less I know. lol... I just adore your positive outlook! ((Hugs))
Oh, thank you kindly Bruno! I'm sure Essence will be jazzed as well that you featured "Angel Above" - she really has a wonderful voice doesn't she! Thank you again! :)
If I were a YouTube editor, I will feature Essence! She needs to be featured. The world should know about her. I am really impressed by her art. The only thing I can do is feature her in my Vlog.
TAke care, hun, and keep on fighting for your cause!!!
My mom has Alzheimer's. My heart is broken! Thank you for this beautiful video!
