    I want to personally thank you all for watching. Jason was so brave to open up to me and my camera after knowing me for no longer than fifteen minutes. Hes a community driven individual with a big heart, and will always remember our afternoon together. Change and love starts with each and every one of us. So thank you all for changing the world every day.

    Jason, Your mother was amazing. It is felt by the way you talked about her and the experience of grief.

    God bless you for being you.

    @shot in the dark, so very well done. What song did you use?

    Thank you for sharing this.

    My mom passed away 9/28/2011 and this is exactly how I felt. Though my family had a bit more time to make the decision to let her go, we knew it was the best for her.

    Love this video, glad I came across it.

    As of today this is my favorite video of all time. We lost my Mom four years ago and we had to make a similar decision. That was the hardest thing that we ever had to do, obviously. I rarely talk about it but seeing Jason put exactly how I feel into words is amazing. From the bottom of my heart, thank you to Jason and "Shot at the Dark" for sharing this fantastic vid!

    Thank you all so much for the support and the amazing feedback. I've been touched by all of your comments, and how Jason's story has effected you. He is a brave man for opening up to me and the camera with only knowing me for a short time prior. He unravelled this story to me as I recorded it, and as we shared this genuine moment I learnt a lot about myself, and his character. For that I am forever grateful.

    The last time that I saw my Grandmother in person, my final words were, "I love you".

    Up until then I don't think anyone in my family had ever uttered those words to each other. Now I sometimes get called out on it for saying it to much, but if you feel it, say it.

    I thought this was going to be another one of those pretty, slow-motion skateboarding videos, but it's so much more than that. Congratulations on getting Jason to open up so you could capture such a profound moment. Worth all the skate videos on the whole internet, in my opinion.

    This video is truely beautiful,
    its disapointing to see that gaming channels on youtube are exploiting the fact that you didn't cover it with copyright and branding and making money out of it.

    Either way, its a truely inspirational video and it definately touched me, and everyone else I've shown it to

    This video, this story, this man, this mother of him. Its all amazing. I cry every time I watch it, but I can't stop. Its such an inspirational video.

    As soon as I found this, I showed my dad. He sent it to all of my family and made everyone see it. The first thing I did when I figured out the message and what I needed to do, I sat down and wrote to my mom. I can't call her or speak to her at the moment, but I will write to her, and let her know it all. What an amazing woman, rolemodel and mother she is, have been and always will be.
    Just like Jason's mother.

    Bless him, bless his mother.
    "Live simply so other people can simply live".. I will forever have those words in my mind.

    This video will always take my breath away. It should win an award. It is such an amazing message.
