Patty, this is heart-wrenching and beautiful. A montage which clearly depicts the universal nature of suffering. And that stone with the message of Hope, that gorgeous rose remind us to work for a better day.
Well-done! I hope many people view your video.
I've tagged you over at my place for a frivolous meme.

I'll let you know when I've completed my meme. This should be fun...and revealing.
