The Now I'm a Baby video came out four days before our mom passed on March 1st 2020 from congestive heart failure.. We watched that video before and after her passing to help make us laugh. We sung and quoted that song and video so much. It was like a tool helping us bond through the loss and grief. Then quarantine hit.. My younger brother and I lost our house so our older brother and his fiancé took us in. So the four of us in a tiny one bedroom apartment gathered around the tv to watch your videos. We ALWAYS start with NIAB video. So whether you like it or not, you, Garrett Watts, have become a part of the McAllister family and traditions. Thank you for keeping us grounded with laughter and hilarious humor. We still gather around the tv in the livingroom whenever there is a new Garrett video. I wanted to tell you this but never could find the proper words to express. Thank you for being you. You, the Mariah Carey of Halloween and Jack Skellington of Christmas.
