I was expecting to see some signs of the rebellious teen years. Where's the Grunge or Goth phase? No middle finger at the camera either.

My daughter is 25. I wish I had thought doing that, but I am not that smart or creative.
Yes, I fogged up a little too, Big Swede. Thank you for sharing this.

Oh that rebellious phase was there I’m certain. It just wasn't shown. Still well done dad!

That was really cool. Seems like they were snips of probably video interviews. He, she, and her children will cherish those videos.
Having video/audio of a loved one is huge. When I lost my dad, I panicked hoping I had recordings of his voice. I found some. Then I panicked wanting video of him with his voice and thank goodness I found some. I now routinely videotape me and my mom sitting at the table sharing lunch I bring over on the weekend when I see her and we just talk. Those videos will be so important to me one day.

Made me tear up a bit too. We raised a beautiful daughter and now have 4 granddaughters.

^^^^^^ 2 up I saw the photo of you and your mom at lunch Normin. She looked like a wonderfully good person.
P. S. You looked OK too.

He did one for his son, too.

As the father of a 26 year old daughter, this made me tear up as well. Beautifully done.

Made me a little teary eyed too. But also as a father with three daughters - that video is proof girls don’t stop talking, unless they’re 17 years olds and sulking. Lol

That was beautiful! Mine two daughters will turn 17 and 7 this year. I’m turning 58 and I wish I could have given them a younger, thinner, healthier, more energetic dad. They’re both so smart and I beyond proud of them.
