My video is done!
So I asked for your help 2 weeks ago for some songs to make a video for my 20 year old son. Well yesterday I finished the video and I played it for him and ............
he cried. Oh my gosh, so not what I was expecting. For those of you that didn't see my original post, my ex and I seperated when I was pregnant and my ex has never been a part of my son's life. We have experienced so much together. I finally remarried when my son was 13. If your interested here you can see the finished product: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PrmNxwPBps I had done one for my girls back in the summer, if you'd like to see theirs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NS5EuBWH1zM Let me know what you think and thanks for the song suggestions.

I know single motherhood can be rough as I have pretty much raised my girls on my own since there father came and went in their lives so I wanted to congratulate you on a job well done. I tried to view the video and it wouldn't let me.

Here's the link to my son's video: ClipShack - Ryan and the girls ClipShack - In my daughters eyes redo1
