I put this link on facebook as well. But I thought I would also upload to the blog.
Here is the link to the video on YouTube:
Michael's Slide Show - Beautiful Goodbye
I put this slide show together for Michael's memorial service. I wanted it to show Michael ... in 3 to 4 minutes. I had the idea that I would put the slide show to two songs - Smiling Face by James Taylor (a song I used to sing to Michael all the time) and You and Me by Rosie Thomas (a longtime favorite song). I couldn't get the two songs to meld together in a cohesive way. I was looking through my iTunes library and found Beautiful Goodbye by Josh Kelley. A song that I must have downloaded a few months before - but didn't remember doing so. I listened to the song and knew it was perfect. The rest of the slides came together pretty quickly.
I watch this slide show at least 5 times throughout the day.

I am soooo glad I got to see that. What a cutie! Thank you for being willing to share him with us.
An amazing tribute to your boy. I will always remember that big, giant smile of his. I just watched another of him on youtube where he is playing with army men. Adorable. Thinking of your sweet boy this morning...
I watch the slide show a lot also.I find that it comforts me. I can imagine how hard it must be to get through each day. Just keep doing the best you can. Live your life as a tribute to Michael! Remember, you are still a good Mother and what he did with his short life is a tribute to you. He was an amazing boy I loved him because he was my grand nephew.I liked him because he was funny, brave and smart. I am so proud to be your uncle and Michael's great-uncle.
Love you,
Uncle Tom
