    What you reap is what you... (Uplifting Grandpa Video)

    Another thread prompted me to post this here. I think it is a powerful video.

    I filmed this last week at lunch on Vday. Grandpa had just returned from visiting the last of the 4 parishes he preached at during his life.

    94 years spent showering people with love. And now he live in bliss and is ready for death with a smile. Is he rich? Not in money. But I would bet the richest men in the world would trade it all to feel what he feels as he approaches death.

    What you reap is what you sow.

                      good idea man.

                      btw

                      i'm sure its not bothering you too awful much, but don't let the idiots on gfy that don't feel genuine human love get you down. you and tassy are loved, genuinely, by alot of us in the biz. there are many, many fake friendships and acquaintences in the internet porn world, but few and far that are truthful and meaningful. your brand is strong, your hearts are full of love, your auras are happy and the meer fact that someone feels they need to state their displeasure with your very existence only proves that you've accomplished what you've dedicated yourselves to be. whole and human. we are one. jsut thought i'd share that.

                              Man, that was a touching video, seriously. My grandpa was like yours - always working to make others happy all his life. Eventhough he died almost 8 years ago, i think about him at least twice a week.

                                It's odd...my grandpa is 94 and ready to die. But I don't think I'll ever be ready for him to go. I'm really glad I've shot so much video of him to show my offspring (if I ever have kids)


                                its good you keep his memory alive.

                                  hal, he does not even look 94. i would have to say that he is one of those "tribal elders" kind of people. he is very at peace with who he is and where he has influenced. the guy was on the video talking about things he accomplished wht he was 60. my god. he is an inspiration to me. my grandfather is just like him. he is american indian like me, and just as spiritual. grandpa caleb has been adopted by me as a second paternal grandfather. i would love to meet him and sit with him one day. just to talk and absorb his life experience.

                                    i worry everyday that my grandpa will "go" before i get back to see him again. one of the few things in life that troubles me.
