  • man, i feel this essay so much...NOW! thanks so much lovie. if i'm not mistaken have i seen you comment on my videos.? your name sounds familiar.

  • Yes I am lovie2000 that comments on your videos from time to time........and you don't reply......LOL

    Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed the vid

  • My sister wrote this essay and I must say I was hesitant to watch your video after seeing the other video. My parents would have been so proud to show this video because you captured the soul and heart of the essay. Thank you for showing the "other" creative side to this essay. The video is awesome and we will be showing it at our Family Reunion this year so thanks for making us all so very proud!!!

  • Thank you, and I am very happy that you like it, but I think I am more happy because the words really hit home, from a lot of things in my past and my ancestors past.

    And for that it makes me proud as well

  • lovie: i apologize. i remember the video you made for mbd a while back. but i just didn't remember your name. i try to reply to folks but i can't get to everybody like i used to. it was nothing personal. but i see you're a vlogger now, that has captured my heart. maybe it was meant for me to not reply, cause when i see 'lovie2000' now, i'll pull the red carpet out. this vid was amazing. you're wonderful...i'm a fan. and i saw the 'copyright infringement' vid also. that guy is very slick...
