    I just watched the video. It's beautiful, and it's so simple yet stunning. Congratulations, I really enjoyed that. A profound topic discussed so beautifully and candidly, a treasure to leave for others who may be struggling with their own thoughts of mortality.

    Nice video. Great viewing perch of OK Falls. You mentioned the importance of time in one's life. But I'd say that energy is even more important. If you don't feel you have enough energy to do things, you're really sunk even if you have plenty of time. Here's a line from my personal manifesto: "Beyond skill and temperament, life comes down to two things-time and energy. With sufficient time and vital energy, anything is possible." Cheers.

    Interesting video, I love the concept of being an eavesdropper behind the people talking. There are some deep and thought-provoking moments people can connect with. I love the pause at the end.

    Thank you Damon! Enjoyed your insights and stories about your life. We are related by one degree of separation. Our standard poodles are brothers! I met you at a performance where my Lego (who is eighty pounds and obviously got the "big guy" gene among his brothers) and I, unfortunately , were not allowed into the venue. Whatever was going through my head to bring him with me, I will never thoroughly understand.

    This is just wonderful to watch; thank you for doing this so we can all understand what you are enduring with a broader sense of "one's" reality. As, know, this is something I may have to face one day; I've been fortunate thus far and hope I continue to be in the future. Watching this has truly touched my heart, Stephanie. Please call us when you need assistance in any manner and to help relieve your sister. You are a trooper and, I believe, you will most certainly "return" to the Stephanie you have always been. God is good, and NOTHING is impossible with Him! xxoo
