  • I saw this when it aired. You grandfather lived a very long and successful life! Thank you for sharing this clip and of course thank you Emily for sharing your story..God Bless...

  • That's my grandpa. He was amazing. I had never gotten a chance to see these clips, and I started to tear up watching them. The clip from 1983 where he talks about the death of his grandchild... those are my parents. That was the year my older sister was born and today she and I are healthy and strong, all thanks to the perseverance and love of my grandpa and my parents. Thank you so much for posting this!
