Oh Honey, how absolutely wonderful. Dad, David and I found this about a quarter after midnight. Needless to say, it is perfect. You are so amazing at doing this! It brought tears and smiles and took us right back to, "...remember when..." To say we loved it is such an understatement. We watched it again and again and will continue to. What a perfect gift from the heart for your beautiful, wonderful dad. We love every stage, and they just get better and better...with precious little Chloebug coming onto the scene. You are so wonderful.

Love you so,
Mama

Wow, Valeri! That was incredible! What a walk down memory lane! I watched it three times and then decided I had to write and let you know how wonderful it is! Watching your dad as a baby...seeing his mom and dad as young parents with the same beautiful smiles, looking so happy...seeing your dad with his brother Jim as little boys...then finally as a teenager as I first knew him and remember him so well--it seemed like just yesterday!--and with your mom when they first met and then as newlyweds...all through the history of your family--seeing those WONDERFUL pictures brought it all back again! Where has the time gone?! You have done a masterful job putting this together with just the right pictures, captions and feeling! It is so touching, so perfect, and such a tribute to your wonderful dad! I love how it goes through three generations, ending with little Chloe...and yet, like life itself, it never really ends. It's as if we're somehow reliving the past. Of course it made me cry. I could go on and on....Thanks for putting it on here for all of us to see and reminisce! Love from your proud Aunt Pat :)
