Your idea is great, but that's what I plan for graduation. I used my company christmas gift Best Buy gift card to buy a thingy that converts home movies to DVD's. But that will be my graduation gift to them. I have a full 4 months to get THAT gift done.
I plan to set it to music and show them their life in movies. I took so many of them that it will take the full 4 months to get that done. At least, lol.
The big thing that I find when watching home movies is that I took them all and I'm not in them. I have to find a way to include my voice because I'm the one behind the camera.
When I go back and watch them, I cry. It's so emotional for me. They talk to me, look to me, smile at me, laugh to me, but can't see me on the film. Their dad wasn't there. He chose not to be. I don't want to show them that. But I do want to show them what they did and how beautiful they were and are.
Their first roll-overs, first smiles, first walks, first snow, first birthdays, first everythings are there. But when I look at them , their dad is not there. Just me and them.
Is it this hard for you guys to go back to day one and see this?
