A Video Tribute to Leo

[laurainlimbo]

I wanted to share with you the video that Masahiko and I made today. It's a tribute to Leo, and set to music that he composed and performed. He wrote the song a couple days ago - he said he just woke up and he had the song in his head, and then he sat down today and recorded it. The song is called "Leo's Blanket." Then we used Windows Movie Maker to make a slideshow of some of our favorite pictures of Leo, with M's song in the background. It took us a couple hours to get it edited just right, and I think it's perfect.

So, here it is. Enjoy!!

thank you hon! it helped us to grieve and to deal with the loss.

by the way, I sent you an email yesterday to apologize for totally missing your birthday a week or so ago... I am really sorry for that! I always try to post something for birthdays, and in the past I always posted something special for you. I have no excuse - just that I"m not as good with LJ this year. Hopefully things will be better and I will be more myself. but I Hope you had a fantastic birthday!!! *big giant hugs*
hope all is well in your world!

Oh, no worries at all about my birthday. ;) However, I don't see that I have an email from you, even in my spam filters. :S Would you mind sending it again if possible? :) (Though I have to warn, I'm waaaay behind on replying and now I'm doing the Computer Virus Clean Up thing again, grr -- see my current post for details if you'd like -- so I may not be able to respond very quickly. :( )

Anyway, thanks, hon! *hugs* ♥♥♥

Awwww, that's beautiful. Masahiko is very talented! And Leo looks so much like Pumpkin I got a little teary-eyed. :)

That's lovely - the music together with the pictures is incredibly touching *hugs*

Slightly random aside, I follow Roy Zimmerman on YouTube and he's currently visiting every state and singing another verse of his 'Vote Republican' song (the premise of the song is you'd have to be hypnotised to believe everything Republicans say and vote for them) and the latest installment was recorded in Port Townsend: video here.

I'll have to check that out!!

hope you're well!

This is a beautiful tribute to Leo. The music is lovely, soothing and uplifting at the same time. And your photos are perfect.

[laurainlimbo.livejournal.com]

aw, thanks! that is what we were aiming for - soothing and uplifting and a bit sentimental.

I love the picture with the teddy, but the entire video is really lovely, and the song just fits perfectly: a little sad, but full of good memories.

[laurainlimbo.livejournal.com]

thanks so much! he loved that teddy bear so much - it still sits next to my bed and always makes me sad.

*hugs*
