Incredible job Troy! So proud of you.

[@markbone]

Thank you everyone who came by the premiere! and thank you Troy for letting me be a part of this film. I'm not crying... you're crying

[@RolandKaufmann]

Let’s be honest, we’re all crying.

[@S555I666C]

Yes we are! What an amazing story and short documentary ❤️

[@naturewhispersvideos]

Everyone is crying. This hit me hard... Great work. Amazing life story.

[@LianneHutcheson]

Maybe y’all should put a disclaimer that a box of tissues near by would be a good idea. 😅This tugged my heart strings in the best way. Thank you for uplifting this project Mark. This is such an incredible network of filmmakers and people you have here.

[@kylesimmons6692]

what camera was used?

[@kimisnaps]

I think I cried for 80% of this film 😭 I am so touched by your story. Thank you Troy for letting us into your journey. This is so beautiful and so human. Well done.

[@troybedenbaugh]

You the best Kim!

[@erikas7656]

The imagery at 12:06- the kite falling and her saying “he was gone” oh my god. Just based on the kite I knew what she was going to say. Incredible film

[@crisclaudio6155]

I write this teary eyed man, I lost my dad in 2014 when I was 19. And although i had more time with my dad than you did, there were things i didn’t find out about until after he was gone. Like how he felt about my brothers and I, my relationship with him and how he viewed me. It sucks to find out all of this after he was gone but even at 19, and now 27 I feel like I was robbed of my dad. It isn’t easy man, but thank god for pictures, our family and friends who continue to share with us stories about our loved ones. Your dad has got to be proud of you, and I hope he’s resting in peace.

[@troybedenbaugh]

Thank you for sharing that and watching ❤️

[@righteousbrother9970]

I just lost my dad a few days ago. This film is so real and so comforting, thank you so much, Troy, for creating this.

[@troybedenbaugh]

I'm so sorry about that man. Thank you so much for watching. Stay strong

[@klintlauritzen9509]

That was one of the most beautiful films I watched not only in KZbin, but in my life. Recently I lost a cousin for Covid who let my family completly destroyed.

[@doug2993]

You stay strong Julissa. Even if not for yourself, for your little brother, he needs you during these times more then he will say. Take him in as a son if possible. He will be forever grateful. Thank you for sharing sister.

Thanks so much. Means a lot

[@voopin69]

i was lucky enough to spend 20 years with my dad... I wish that was enough but it wasnt. Almost 3 years now from his passing, times havent gotten any easier but videos like these help me continue to process my grief. Much love and respect to you for making this gem, you deserve an award.

[@troybedenbaugh]

Wow Sefo, thank you for sharing that. Keep going brother. So glad you enjoyed it

[@thibaultfotre]

This is honnestly the best advertising you can hope for, for AOD. I know it's not ment to. You just shared the work of one of your student. But let's be honest, it is an 18 minutes experience that humbled everyone who saw it. The story, the way it is told, the cinematography, we can see your little prints here and there. Troy, thank you for this film, thank you for your honesty and for opening up on such a hard subject. It is a beautiful piece of art. If one of you both comes in France someday. Please let me know, I'll be your host. Thanks again, Thibault

[@markbone]

Thank you Thibault, very proud of what Troy and all of the AOD filmmakers have been accomplishing. Honoured that he brought me into the story process. Thank you for your kind words ♥️✌️

[@ChrisMiller-vu2qb]

I have no words! I lost my dad back in February 2021 due to health issues and I wasn’t ready. I was 31. My dad was a gentle soul with a way of words. He wrote poems and songs. I never had to brain to write songs or poems, but just recently, I felt God calling me to write posts of encouragement and my mom said it was like dad was alive! I did a 5 year wedding anniversary video for my wife and I and he had written a poem. We didn’t have it video recorded but I had the audio from our wedding. I decided to put the words to his poem on the screen as he read it. I was definitely a mess afterwards! Thank you for this beautiful film!
