    Let us slow down to listen to someone’s story, and we shall truly “see” them. Bs

    Thank you! This was beautifully conceived and brought to life. Thought provoking, wonderfully conveyed through exceptional animation. Nothing is worth anything if not used to make someone else happy.

    The beautiful way his tears became the memories when it landed on the paper and how it flowed from moment to moment a story of loss, love and longing. When every tightly-held treasure becomes a gift again, when it is given away! Truly beautifully done down to the very detail. I will share it with my family tonight.
