21 Years


Make sure you have the 6 minutes to sit and watch this video. It is so worth it. This is a heartwarming story of a father chronicling his son's 21 years of life... one picture at a time.  Ian McCleod compiled 7,500 images he took of his son, Cory's life. He took a picture almost every day of his life and inserted a hand drawing for the days he was unable to take one. It took him 3 months alone to transfer the film pictures to digital.

Corey says  for a long time he didn't understand why his dad would hunt him down for a picture but at around the age of 16 or 17 he got it. When does this project stop? The father and son say it can't. They will continue it. This touched my heart. Does it touch yours?

Oh my goodness...a big task to take on, but sweet that they share this each day. A connection.
