😏 Maybe We’re The 1st Spiritist* Pop-Metal Or Rock Band In This World…
But Don’t Pay Much Attention To Our Neanderthal English, Ha ❤️ Ha Haaa
*NOTE:
Spiritist is who professes Spiritism, the Gospel continuation
It has began with the books by Allan Kardec and continued in the books by Francisco C. Xavier, the greatest and more important medium/prophet of spirits of the last centuries…

Dang, this is one of the saddest TED. You can hear his voice very nearly breaking.
And yes, I will keep telling the stories of loved ones that I have lost, so their memories love forever.

That’s true, I believe that people will not be truely dead unless we forget them, so I will remember them and take solace in the memories with loved ones.

Holykaw that is moving,
When my mom died – my biggest fear was forgetting her.
I didn’t know about my Aphantasia back then but I knew I couldn’t recall her face without a photo.
But:
There is not a single day I don’t think of her and tell My daughter something about her. What her Omi would have done or said in a situation.
He just showed me with the video that it‘s those teenietiny little stories that make all the difference

Percise and deep. Thanks Jarrett. As I’m commenting on this video, YouTube is suggesting me my childhood friend who’s being executed after he joined Militant and become a killer. His mother passed when he was so young and he had nobody to give him the care and the protection he deserved. Stories are powerful way and it keeps a life of those we wrote about.
