    Beautiful family. Congratulations on getting into Harvard, Tony! You are so deserving. I can’t even imagine how proud your dad must be.

    Instead of forcing people to conform to "normal" we should embrace the differences and unique gifts, talents, and abilities given.

    Best family ever, so heartwarming, and so much love. Due to mental illness in my family, basically I’m alone. When my siblings and I were younger it was great, but as the teenage years approached so did the mental illness, progressively getting worse as the years pass. I love my family, but it’s just that I can’t have any close loving relationship with them anymore. This video showed me that the family and their love for each other still exists. Thanks for making my evening meaningful.

    My grandmother who recently passed away was born with RP as well and grew up in Queens. She had 5 wonderful girls. She memorized the Monopoly game board and we would play for hours. This special brought back such vivid memories; it feels like this could have been my family. The world is really so small and we have so much in common. Thank you for this! Best wishes to the whole family 🤍

    God was showing off when this Family was made. Congrats for attending the University of choice. Your Father must be ever so proud. This touched my Heart. I wept with compassion for this beyond fabulous Family. This took my Heart and gently nursed it back to full health. My darling Omah was a ghastly driver and she always said that Stevie Wonder taught her to drive. My best friend died yesterday and shall miss her forever one more day. Australia
