It All Started with a Song

I found this song called “Whole Wide World” by Mindy Gledhill, and the moment I heard just a clip of it, I knew that song was pure Phaedra. I told Grant I wished I had the time to make a little video with a slideshow of pictures of her to that song. He agreed it was the perfect song for our little Phae. I gave up on the idea of making a video because of my lack of time with two free hands lately, and I’m such a perfectionist that I would want to take my time, choose just the right photos, edit them, and rearrange them until everything was just how I wanted it.

The next thing I knew, Grant was sitting at our computer tossing photos onto our video making program. At first, I was torn between being glad my idea was becoming a reality and feeling sad that Grant was the one doing it. But I bit my tongue and was grateful for what he was doing for me, and we even ended up working together. Grant helped me throw aside my perfectionism, and I got to help him make it more how I would want it. And it got done without being a month long project. So if you ask me, it worked out . . . perfectly!

Here’s the video we made. I love it!
