My First Documentary

Last year, I decided take off spring quarter to spend time with my mom, as her health quickly declined. After she lost her battle with cancer, and the fight for her life early in the morning of May 12, 2010, my life was changed forever. I had known for a little over a month, (since April 10th) that mom's cancer had spread to her brain, and that there was nothing more that the doctors could do to help her. April 10, 2010, I came home from Ohio State, and hospice came to our house for the first time. I was very lucky to be able to spend a great deal of time with my mom during that last month. Of course, she didn't want me to get behind in my classes, so she seemed less worried when I was in Columbus.This documentary was a project I had to do for one of my classes that quarter. I finished all my work over the summer, and that is why this was made 2 months after my mom's death. I am Christian, but unlike many people who claim to be Christian but seem to hate other religions, I am very open-minded and feel that it doesn't really matter if you say you believe in God, in Allah, in a Great Spirit or what-have-you. I believe that it is only important to believe in something bigger than yourself. A Great Maker of some sort. With that, I'll let you all watch my video if you would like, but just to warn you, it is kinda lengthy!
