I honestly think it may be better to swap all the self-help/self-improvement for these types of videos. Instead of focusing on what is wrong with us and our lives, this shows us how to be grateful, loving, humble, compassionate, and above all, how to be real. Thanks for the content
Your words mean much to us. A great compliment, thank you. Nice to know that you see so much value in what we share. Sending much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
I learned to write as a child by writing thank you cards for EVERY gift I ever recieved. Letters to my grandparents, extended family, cousins, friends,,,, as one gets older and people pass on the letters become fewer,,, till one day they stop. Now my thoughts go into a journal, who will read, who will care? I've NEVER discarded a letter or card, I've got boxes, drawers and envelopes full of them. Now at a time going through my moms things,,,, she to had saved every note and letter I'd ever written and the childhood memories of and entire life,,, two lives return.
@@ReflectionsofLife The lives of the people you share help us to appreciate our own lives or to aspire to live deeper more meaningful lives. Keep up the good work, you do touch a lot of people!
I have to say that at 75 I’ve kept almost nothing in terms of letters, cards or photos. I used to; I had boxes of them. My experience is that such habits keep you rooted in the past, looking backwards not forwards. I’ve tried to constantly learn new things and develop older interests. Musical instruments, vegetable gardening, rope flow and cycle camping. Veganism, bird watching and better cooking. Reading about minimalism and realising your stuff (anchors to your past) are immediately junked when you die. I measure my happiness to some degree by the cubic feet saved when I donate, sell or discard my clutter. Throwing away my school reports was the best of all! I just don’t equate with the gratitude notion at all.
So eloquently said... This made me think of my mother who passed in May of 2019. My parents both raised on a reservation of two different Native tribes. They did their best to raise me with really no tools or knowledge of certain life skills, though it was difficult at times during my young adulthood, I know that I was loved and felt safe. In the end, I was there, just me and my mom, next to her in the hospital bed... I held my mom while the machines were being turned off, told her that I was the luckiest daughter in the world to of had her as my caretaker and to not worry about me, that I will be alright, and its ok to go... it seemed to calm her and she fell into her final sleep. We were both lucky, she got to watch me as I took my first breath and I was there for her last... it was a beautiful thing. Dolores was a gorgeous woman, inside and out ❤ Eddie was a good, honest man ❤
This is so beautifully written, so touching. It needs a few moments to let it sink in. Thank you for sharing this with all of us. Sending much love and kindness to you. Justine and Michael. 💚
@@Andrea_Driessen Aww... thank you for your words too. All the best to you, Andrea - I appreciate this special acknowledgment. Shout out from the Bay Area of California 😊
Wow I am speechless... You said it like I can feel every word... It's just like it is in front of you and you saying this in the background like a film is passing by...
My dad died of a gunshot wound when I was 9 years old. I think about him daily wishing I had more time with him. How wonderful to have such memories and letters from your dad. Thank you for sharing. 🦋
You are most welcome, we are so thankful that we could share this video with you. Thank you for sharing with us what happened to your father. We are really sorry that he passed away when you were still so young. We hope you are doing ok, that you feel loved and comforted. Sending much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
This reminded me of letters my farther wrote my siblings and I when he was struggling with alcoholism and moved to another state to find himself. Even during his internal struggle he always managed to call and write us letters. ❤❤❤
This was so good. I held my dad’s hand and watched him take his last peaceful breath this past January. The previous week I spent in his room talking with family and hospice workers about what a great man he was. He had communication with every grandchild, and his only surviving brother laid by him in bed telling him what a great ‘big brother’ he had always been. We let him go fully loved and appreciated. It was one of the most precious moments of my life.❤. Thank you for this video. It blessed me very much.🥹
We are speechless and very touched. Thank you so much for sharing what your family and you experienced, how the last days were spent. What a peaceful way to leave... We are so grateful that we were able to share this video with you. Wishing you strength for the moments when you miss him. Sending much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
I'm from the UK and now live in the US (also in WA). Earlier this year I decided to write the 'eulogies' of both my parents and read it to them on FaceTime. They are both in their 80s and I might not get to say what I feel about them in person very much now. I told them all my memories of them and how wonderful I think they were and are. It was a very poignant happening. I hadn't always had a great relationship with them when I was younger, especially my mum. They were deeply touched and surprised I felt so well of them. A lot of deep healing took place for all of us....I encourage everyone now to say it now and not save it for their funeral when they won't be here to hear it ❤
Touching. We thank you for sharing what you did. Yes, may it encourage and inspire many others on our channel and those around you to not leave it too late what we would like to say. Sending much love and kindness to you. Justine and Michael. 💚
Hello, Jennie....from a fellow Washingtonian (I'm in Seattle;). Thank you for sharing your profound story about the power of sharing eulogies with your parents while they were very able to hear them. Indeed, such a gesture can be deeply healing. Since this story speaks to you, you may enjoy my TED Talk about Gracenotes, too: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CaqaMwfYk_4.html Thank you again for watching and commenting. Love and grace to you.
I absolutely loved this story! She is so right, it does not matter if there is a casket involved. What she asked her father, I too asked my father and still think of his response, I am not afraid. I asked my father if he believed that once he passed, he would be in Heaven instantaneously, like from one door to the next, he said, I believe this. We need to LIVE now, savor the moments, make every ounce of our journey count. Be KIND, make a difference in someones life. STOP holding onto old hurtful things someone may have said, yes, even from our very own, let it go... cut it into pieces and reconnect with those that should be in your circle. ..••°°°°••..
We are so happy Andrea's message meant so much to you. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences, and deep and touching words that invite us to ponder. Sending much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
Wow, thank you lady. It made me recall my late father. There were so much I could not talk to him as father & daughter. I got to learn later, he had a very strict father who used to hit him as a boy. My dad, then inflicted that same abuse to my mother & us. I do remember the good things he used to teach me. He and I did have a goog command of the English language. As we were bi-lingual, I used to consult him when it came to writing my essays. Now my own tomorrows are short as I grow in my 70's. My two sons have children of their own, and I take great delight to watch them as fathers. I am still learning about gramparenting and programs like this are a must in schools. Thank you, Justine & Michael. Please approach school to used in their " Wellness"" classes. Children are priceless.
I too, was a Hospice volunteer and totally understand and relate to her. Sitting with the dying left me with an urgency to truly live life! Thanks for the reminder and beautiful video!
Before Hospice was, our church pastor required us Sr. High kids to visit the elderly, and attend to those passing. Made a profound impact on my life and how I lived it.
I adore every single aspect of this channel. The emotional impact of the documentaries is enhanced not only by the compassionate perspectives of the people included, but also by the eloquent description cards and the kind comments from viewers. I'm grateful I got to experience this in my life. Thank you.
@Kindred--I am with you--EVERY thing about Reflections of Life is beautiful. In a world that has so much...NOT beautiful, their critical work makes a disproportionate impact.
Your words are very touching and encouraging, thank you so much. They mean a lot and inspire us to share many more videos. It's wonderful to have you with us on our journey. Sending you warmest of hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
I lost my father in an accident over 12 years ago. Not a day goes by that I don’t think of him. Every once in a while I’ll find a scrap of paper with his handwriting on it. He had awful handwriting but seeing it still makes me smile and cry. I’m looking forward to the time when I get to hug him again. Thank you for this film.
Thank you for this. Your story affected me quite a lot, to the point of tears, and of realizing that I need to do better for those who are still here. Much appreciated 🙏
This video spoke deeply to my heart. I lost my sweet papa a year ago and I would be dishonest if I did not say this was the hardest year of my life. We want to always believe our parents will be there for our entire lives but knowing deep down that is not possible. My father grew up very poor and we struggled most of my childhood financially, however the one thing that was never lacking in my life was Love. To this I am truly grateful. My father always found joy in even the little things in life whether it be the beautiful snowfall, the rain, the shooting starts or watching the beautiful hummingbirds at the feeder (one of his favorite things to do). He truly never cared about what others thought and just wanted to enjoy life. After losing my father and trying to understand how to navigate the new life without one of my loving parents. I quickly realized with the largest smile on my face, just truly how much I am like my father. I bask in the sunshine, sit for hours just staring at the stars, smile at every sunrise & sunset, watch the hummingbirds, be with the people/animals I love and do whatever I can to bring happiness to anyone I encounter. I am grateful for every birthday no matter how old I am realizing so many people never got the experience the age I am right now. Although our lives may not go exactly how we planned, we need to find joy in all the things we are given. Everything in our lives happen for a reason and it truly makes us the person that we have become today. Upon watching my father take his last few breaths, I remember saying to him "It is ok to go, we will be fine, grandpa is waiting to go fishing with you, I love you dearly my sweet papa". Charish the ones that are here, always remember the ones who have come before and always bask in the sunshine :)
Thank you for sharing this deep and heartfelt message with us. We can imagine that it was not an easy year. It's hard to lose a dear person. Thank you for reminding us of important things in life. Wishing you all the best and strength for your walk through life. Sending much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
A huge thank you to these guys, who gave so generously of their to time to help with translations, enabling us to provide subtitles in the following languages: Albanian - by Denis Skendaj Arabic - by Frihat Oussama Bulgarian - by Polina Stoyanova Chinese (Traditional and Simplified) - by Shun-Ying Lu Dutch - by Karla Greven English - by Justine du Toit French - by Amélie Macoin German - by Tanja Pütz Greek - by Vicky Polychroni Indonesian - by Ary Nuansa Italian - by Grazia Gironella Korean - by Hotae Devin Noh Polish - by Anna Konieczna Portuguese - by Sibylle Steinpass and Lucivani Valvassori Slovak - by Zuzana Beratsova Spanish - by Paty Aguirre Ukrainian - by Sofia Bespalova Vietnamese - by Thi Le
The last time I saw my father alive, it was somewhat strained… he would not do things to take care of his health and it was very frustrating to deal with. I learned later after his death, he knew he was about to die. I didn’t get to say things that I may have wanted to… because of the frustrations… the lesson here is… I never want to leave things left unsaid… with someone important in my life… before the opportunity is no longer there. Tell the people that you care about… that you do. I should have, but I didn’t… leaves you empty. It’s very wonderful that she had that relationship with her father… and has his letters, just lovely. 🌜🌞🌛
What a touching message, thank you for sharing it with us. Sorry that your last time with your dad was strained and you could never share anything with him again. Yes, we never know how life turns and some things need to be said and done in that present moment. May we all remember that. Sending much love and kindness to you. Justine and Michael. 💚
@@ReflectionsofLife Thank you both...there are certain lessons life teaches you that you never....forget.Some people you can't protect from themselves...some lessons are hard, but you need to embrace them.Wishing you Peace...Thanks for posting such human stories.
That really resonated with me- my athlete father always so strong and tan and playing tennis. To see his body in the end withered and yes gaunt it was shocking as just a year earlier he was presenting -to me -with vitality. That he had like your father wrung all the life possible from his body. That says it so eloquently. ❤
Wieder ein sehr schöner Beitrag: die Macht und der Trost der Erinnerung. Jeder hat Essentielles zu schenken. Danke. Ich freue mich zutiefst über mein wundervolles, sinnhaftes, bereicherndes, erfülltes Leben❤🎉❤
Beautiful words, thank you. We are glad that we can share these videos with you, that they enrich your life. Sending you warmest of hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
My grandfather Ivan was like a dad figure too me, he past away when i only was 12, but he is still a big figure in my life, i felt loved with him and i am so so grateful to him and my grandmother Anna and the kindest great great mother Agrypina - they were outstanding kind inspiring people- i still take strenght from their love and believe in me.🤗🤗🤗i will never stop tell thank you to their souls to Universe. Thank you for this important warm video😘💚
It's a pleasure. Thank you for your lovely message. Nice that Andrea's story brought back so many good memories of important people in your life. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
So very beautiful. You are so articulate. Thank you for sharing. If only everyone had this kind of a relationship with their parents I believe the world would be a different place. Thank you so much for sharing.
You are so welcome. Thank you for your kind words. We are so happy that you enjoyed listening to Andrea's message. Sending much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
I cried so hard when she read the letter! What a feeling it must have been to receive such a declaration of love and admiration from your child! You can see how moving it still is for her, too, to remember their exchanges and vulnerability with each other… Just beautiful. I won’t forget what the protagonist said about gaunt, dying bodies having wrung all the good out of life that they could either. Such a comforting thought and elevated perception of death! ❤ Every time I click on a new video of yours and think it can’t possibly impact me as much as the last, you prove me wrong! I’ll keep recommended this channel to everyone I know & love and possibly start writing some letters of my own.
Hello and thank you for how sincerely you are engaging with the film--and ALL the gorgeous and meaningful films that Reflections of life produce. What gifts to the world!
Your words are so touching and encouraging. We are so thankful that this video and also all the others speak to you so deeply. Thank you also for sharing our videos, it means a lot to us. Nice to have you with us on our journey. Sending much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
A wonderful story of a relationship between a parent and child. With each sharing their admiration for one another recognizing the gifts they bring and brought to the world. ❤
My Daddy also left this place thru hospice - I was the last one with him - he waited till I had left - I knew - but he had shifted - his skin clear and he was younger - he was the Daddy I knew ✨💫
My father died earlier this year, our relationship was much more complicated, yet his death made me realize there is so little time, why not forgive and say the things you need to if at all possible 💛
What you are sharing goes deep, it's touching. We are sorry to read about the passing of your father and that your relationship with him was not so easy. May Andrea's message be an inspiration, help and comfort to you at this time. Wishing you all the strength you need for the days to come. Sending much love and kindness to you. Justine and Michael. 💚
the art of writing letters to family, I sadly feel, will end up being a distant memory of "those old folks" as the younger generations aren't being included by mine (I'm 61) and the next generation through a lack of connectivity.... I know that I lost this over my life, though as I age, I'm moved to review the letters written by my grandmother and her family from the early 1900s and even older letters by her parents from the 1800s. yep, I still have them collected in an old family steamer trunk from the 1800s. my attempt to connect with the old ways. simpler, beautiful, informative... I've become the muddling archivist of my family's past, even though no one else will ever review it..... and its enough for me and my own personal relevance.....
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and information what treasures you still have and what letter writing means to you, really interesting and touching. Makes one sit down and think. Sending much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
I wish so much I had a relative that kept things about my family that I could talk to. I’m dying to talk to someone I’m related to. I have so many questions. I hold it as almost sacred. Unfortunately my immediate family are all Jehovah’s Witnesses, so they’ve been shuning me for 25 years because I’m not actively promoting their beliefs door-to-door.
@@TheOriginalNiceGuy thats tough..... 1 of my oldest friends (met in 1977) and I recently reconnected with is from a JW family. although they never directly aimed him away from me, I always understood the difference between himself and this little ole atheist from texas. we'd been distant for decades, and I found him through facecrack a few months ago and reached out. he was overwhelmed, and we've simply re-established ourselves as the "2 cool 4 school" crew.... all I can tell you is to stay strong, as you don't appear to be the person with the issue (to me). and remember that its ok to walk your path alone, but be up for finding like minded people along your journey....
Writing letters is a wonderful thing to do. At the beginning of this year I decided to write letters to each of my older sisters. One a month until the end of the year. I put little gifts in them and when it is a birthday month, I fill them with birthday wishes. They really look forward to receiving them. I agree, why wait until the end of their lives before saying something uplifting and meaningful. And I love treating them with beautiful and true words. Now is the time.
What a beautiful idea to write these letters. And it's so wonderful that they are so well received and special to your sisters. Happy letter writing for the coming months, may it bring much joy to all of you. Sending you warmest of hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
Writing a letter is a precious gift, that keeps the narrative alive... writing encouragement... sharing legacy notes before the casket arrives... being seen, being visible... it's simple... wring the life with gusto... TU!
This goes deep, thank you for writing to us. It means so much to us that the words Andrea shared with us were a help to you at this time. We wish you and your husband strength and all you need for every new day. Sending much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
Beautiful tribute to her day. I feel so blessed to have said “I love you” to my mom the last time I saw her, and grateful that she said those same words back to me as I kissed her goodbye.
Amazing and touching. We are so glad that we could share this video with you. Sending much love and kindness to you and your father. Justine and Michael. 💚
Your words touch us. We are glad that Andrea's words meant so much to you. And may all the tears be a help, sometimes we just need to cry. Sending much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
What a beautiful story. I have always longed for the type of father that this lucky woman had. I always had a very challenging relationship with my father, he was largely absent from my life and unfortunately, I did not get the chance to say goodbye before he passed away suddenly. However, I visited the town where he had lived after he died and shed some tears and asked for forgiveness (for both of us) and let go of some very old hurts. I try to think of him now with compassion and love and remember that we don't always know how it is for those who may (unconsciously) cause us hurt or pain. I think forgiveness (for ourselves and others) is such an important part of keeping the love and healing alive. Thank you.
Agree that forgiveness--even one way forgiveness--changes us. For GOOD! As they say, resentment is a poison we take--and wait for the other person to die.
Touching words. Sorry that you had a challenging relationship with your father. We are glad that you were able to find some peace, that you could let go of old hurts,... and also ask for forgiveness. Wishing you all the best for your life and sending much love and kindness to you. Justine and Michael. 💚
What a sweet person you are. And what a wonderful relationship you had with your dad. I loved the end when you said he had wrung all of his life out of his body! Who could ask for more? Beautiful.😘❤🙏🏻✨
Thank you for this beautiful message. My father had been keeping a journal for my brother and me until the last days of his life. His love is still here with me; and I will send his love to everyone whom I meet in my life until the last day of my life.
How amazing, how beautiful. That lets him be so close all the time. So lovely that you can send his love to everyone. Thank you for sharing this. Warmest hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
These videos and your work is so precious and I feel so loved by it. A true treasure! Thank you friends! Work is love made visible! And you do make a difference. Ty beloved 🙏🌹✨💖☀️🎁🙌🎉
Thank you for your very kind message. We are so happy and encouraged by your words and hope to share many more videos with you. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
The hospice part hit me hard. My dad had dementia and passed in a long term care facility last fall. He was unresponsive his last week before passing. I told him how much I loved him and was thankful for all he had done for me, and that it was his time to rest and he could go whenever he was ready. A few minutes later, he took his last breath. I am so grateful I got to tell him all that before he left. ❤
Really touching what you are sharing, thank you. What a comfort that you could be with him and share all that with him before he passed away; that you were able to be by his side in his last moments. We trust you are doing ok. Sending much love and kindness to you. Justine and Michael. 💚
This was a very special and touching episode for me. Many tears were shed. I have gained a new perspective on many things and for that I say thank you from the bottom of my heart 🙏🧝♀️❤️💫
Your words mean a lot to us. We are so thankful that Andrea's message spoke to you deeply, that it was special. Sending much love and kindness to you. Justine and Michael. 💚
I have started a few months ago doing interviews of my friends and the meaning of life, their struggles, their joy, what is meaningful to them, what keeps them going. For reasons still unknown, I wanted to keep a track of what life has written in their hearts. And now, as I am starting a video series about the creative process (which I am passionate about) and doing some research, I stumble upon your wonderful channel. Dear Michael & Justine, I just wanted to say : you are so inspiring. :) Your work has so much meaning and resonated on many different levels. I have been deeply touched by the portraits I have watched. My mother struggle with depression and I have sent her 2 of them which I think will really resonate with her story. I just wanted to say thank you! YOUR WORK AND THE MISSION YOU ARE ON ARE WONDERFUL! I will definitely keep following. That is the most meaningful channel I have ever came across. :) Sending love. ❤
Thank you for your touching and encouraging message, it means a lot to us. You started a wonderful project, we wish you all the best. May it be fulfilling and bring you much peace and joy. We are so happy that our videos speak to you deeply, also to your mother. Glad they resonated with her. We hope that we can share many more stories with you. Sending you warmest of hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
Oh what a beautiful testimony🤍 and it comes right on the eve of the day when my father passed away, the May 20. I would say the same about and TO my farther what was said here. I am greatful to the Almighty that I had a chance to spend each and every day near my farther's bed in hospital. These were very difficult days, but at the same time it was a blessing, because we spent more time together than we did ever before... I can say that the person I am today is mostly due to my farther's love, care and protection. May our farthers have eternal joy and peace🙏
Such a touching message. We are really thankful that we can share this video with you at this time. Wishing you strength for today, remembering all the wonderful things you could share with your father, the love he showed you,... Sending much love and kindness to you. Justine and Michael. 💚
@@ReflectionsofLife thank you so much dear Justine and Michael, I really appreciate your beautiful comment🤍 And thank you for all the wonderful work that you do, for spreading light and love to this world🙏 God bless you and your efforts 🙏
A heartfelt thank you. Your letter to your father reminded me of the letter I wrote to my father. In 1985, I was stationed in the DMZ in South Korea and learned of my father’s cancer. My letter reflected his impact on my life and made me who I was. By the time I arrived home on emergency leave, he barely recognized me and, within days, was gone. He passed away young (67), but his legacy lives on. My mother shared with me that my letter made him cry. Simple gestures such as writing a letter and showing appreciation speak volumes.
Touching words, thank you for sharing what happened. We are so thankful that you were able to write a letter to your father and he received it and could read it while still well enough. What a comfort. Even though he only lived for a few days when you arrived home and hardly recognized you, we are glad you were able to be with him in his last days. Sending much love and kindness to you. Justine and Michael. 💚
This is so wonderful to watch. ❤ I started writing a birthday letter to my one and only daughter since she turned 16. She turns 32 in 2 days.. I’m preparing a letter as we speak. My daughter always makes me so proud of the woman she’s become. We make a difference in our children’s life. ❤
Wow! You were so blessed to have the love of your dad. You had an amazingly wonderful dad. It shows in you as well. You explained his life and how he lived it so well. May God continue to bless you.
I'm in my twenties, and it's pretty certain for people to say that "you still have long to go", yes I do believe that, but I also believe in the present moment hence the idea of letting people and simultaneously letting yourself know the love you have for them is a part of the precious presnt moment remembering anything could happen at any point of time. We often get indulged into arguments, which unknowingly creates a distance between people we love and care about, but forgetting the past and forgiving the negativity is the greatest enlightenment ever for the hearts ❤ I'm so inspired by these beautiful lives of people found by you guys, which is finding me a path towards being a good-hearted person(hope I'm on the way with God's grace)🥹 Thank you 😊
Really touching what you shared. Yes, it is so important to live in the present, to share things while we can, to be kind to others and ourself. Life can take a different turn at any time. We are glad that we can share these videos with you, nice to have you with us on our journey. Sending much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
Thank you Andrea for sharing your father, yourself, and the unbounded love that exists between you two with us. I find listening to you deeply healing. ❤
Мама даёт жизнь,а папа силу жить. Это с его ценностями сверяет ребенок каждый свой шаг... Закрой глаза. Представь уют,представь то место,где всегда поймут, Где нету зла и нет печали, Где по тебе всегда скучают. Ты скажешь - нет такого места. Нет, есть - Родительское сердце. Спасибо и за эту драгоценную историю.🙏🏻💚
Thank you for writing to us. Deep and beautiful thoughts. Words to ponder on. We are so grateful that we could share this video with you. Sending you warmest of hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
Thank you so much for sharing your story, your important soft message, and sharing the light that brings light to others 🙏❤️ Your father is proud of you and I am proud of you as well, to you who's watching 🤗
The honoring way Andrea speaks about her father really moved me. I’m inspired to make sure I say what I want to say to my dad while he is still here (at 92!). Thank you so much. Always mesmerized by Michael’s stunning visuals. Bless you both.
Beautiful and touching words you are sharing, thank you. So thankful Andrea's words spoke to you so deeply. We are so happy to have you with us on our journey. Sending much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
What a beautiful soul you are, thank you so much for being vulnerable and sharing, this touched my soul deeply ❤ You are full of pure love, thank you for reminding me and inspiring me ❤
Such a precious gift of love ❤ Having the material reminder of the love that you share, even after death . You are absolutely right about this generosity of heart felt blessings that exist now and forever. Thank you so much for sharing this video and for your articulated joyous celebration of love and kindness that becomes a special historical remembrance and documentary gift. ❤
Good Morning Dear Lady; Thank You for Sharing such a Beautiful Program on Gratitude ❤️❤️. Letter's Handwritten from Family and Friends are Precious 💕💕. God Bless You.
Hello @baus7. Totally agree with you (as you might guess;) Yet when any one of us writes a short note that shows people how they matter, we make difference. We can change the "on screen all the time" habits. All best to you.
Hello! (English is not my native langauge, sorry for any mistakes). I have discovered this channel just one week ago and for me watching your videos feels like a way of healing somehow, as all these people you interview give me hope and encouragement. I'm just a girl of 22 yo but I have been going through a hard time lately and your videos make me smile :). They are beautifully portrayed. I wish beautiful things for all of you. Thank you very much and
Thank you for your kind comment about our work. We are so happy you came across our channel and like the videos we share. Wonderful that they help and encourage you. May the hard times ease off soon so that you feel better again. And your English is very good, written so beautifully. Sending you warmest of hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
Thank you for watching and sharing how you felt. We can understand that her words made you emotional, thinking about your father. Sending much love and kindness to you. Justine and Michael. 💚
Isso é tão lindo. Eu não tenho palavras para descrever o que sinto nesse momento. Amo ouvir experiências de pessoas mais velhas e essa,com certeza, deixou meu coração quentinho🤍 Obrigado por esse conteúdo maravilhoso.
Even i write letters to the people i love or the people whom i lost but i still love them, or to the people who love me. I've learned that there are people smiling with admiration to see you breathing still. Reflection of light, I'd really like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for making such deep videos. You are always so helpful to bring a positive change in my life. 🙌💗
We are glad that Andrea's message resonated with you and that you also enjoy writing letters. Keep on doing so. And your words mean a lot to us, so glad that the videos we share make a difference in your life. Sending much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
What a special heartfelt tribute. I lived away from my parents and 2 grandmother's, when I went away to nursing school. I wrote them every wk. They are all gone now. I write friends in PA, Ohio, and Florida to this day. The tangible note in the mailbox is a gift. I worked as a hospice nurse for 10 yrs. To help families and the patient themselves, go on their journey was life changing . Many tines it was a healing and even an enjoyable time to reminisce. The time helped me not fear leaving on my journey someday.
Beautiful and touching message, thank you for sharing. Wonderful that you kept up writing letters to some people, so special. We can understand that Andrea's message story spoke to you deeply. Wishing you all the best for life's journey. Sending much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
