Im sorry to hear that too. The video is well put together. I quite enjoyed it even though it made me feel a bit sad.

Thanks. You know, as sad as death is, it always reminds me that there is always new life being born too. and that makes me happy.

Even after three years....this song and video is still great. Thank you.

What a tear jerker!!! I hadn't heard this song before but put with this video it is SOOO powerful!!!

[Sucka27]

Wow! I'm a 36 year old male and I quite literally, just wiped a tear from my eye. Very touching. :-)

thank you

[ralpheadsuz]

yeah. i'm glad the vid had this effect. I read somewhere recently, that we should fill the void (left at a loved one's death) with remembered joy. Even if it is somewhat detached, we should look at the good things in life and not get stuck in sadness over what is lost.

Thanks Alma! As a matter of fact, Ralph said: "Beautiful... surreal seeing real images from real life flowing through the lens of the song.... Nicely done. A lovely tribute."

I know it is a sad occassion and I am sorry for your loss. But I got thinking when I saw the video, took me back to a time when everything was home made, like when my aunt made chicken soup and strawberry jam.

Thanks Leo. I enjoyed searching through old 8mm films to try to fit. We're doing alright. Vicki's birthday is in October, so we'll have a celebration of her life then. and yeah, ralph covert can write some awesome songs!
