A Tribute to Northern Illinois University

I created this video as a tribute to Northern Illinois University and it is my wish to share this with you all.

The music is a rendition of "If We Hold On Together" from The Land Before Time with former NIU student Kelly Shields on vocals and myself on piano.

I hope whomever watches this finds comfort in the fact that all will be well...and that this too shall pass as long as we pray, hope for the best, and never stop losing faith in ourselves and others. We stand united - Huskies forever.

Thank you for this lovely tribute. I just found it while searching for something else. It's hard to believe its been over a year. So many people have already forgotten about it, but for NIU, its something that will be remembered for a long time to come. Forward Together Forward

This sort of thing is so terrible. If only we could learn from the past and stop future attacks before more innocent people get hurt.
