Short Summary

Your films help remind me that there is no death but only of the body. Lost my 22 year old son, 6 years ago. These help my hurting heart.
Wow. It's such a difficult life to grow up looking for your tribe and accepting violence in exchange for belonging. How deeply we all need love and acceptance. ❤
John, I grew up about the same time as you - in West Long Beach, Ca. Gangs were a way of life and so easy to be a part of. They made us feel wanted, a home away from home. My closest childhood friend, Henry Castillo, was shot and killed at 14 when he opened his front door. (Gangs were after his older brother). We hung out at Silverado Park day and night. For some reason, a police officer named Leslie (who used to drive his car right up onto the grass to make us scatter) took an interest in me and my running buddy, Mark. What he did was just show some interest in us. It was the beginning of us turning toward a brighter life. Soon, both of us were going to activities at the boys' club and meeting new "family" members. I am forever grateful. Thank you for sharing your experiences and your heart. I am so moved by your blessed awakening and can only imagine the countless lives you have positively touched. Blessings brother 🙏
I lost my only child, my 23 old old son and my entire life. These help remind me that my son is alive . It’s just this body that died. It’s still hard for me but there’s hope that I’ll be with him one day.
The thought of that beautiful little boy all alone in his life - in the midst of a family - absolutely breaks my heart.
These videos have been such a crucial part of my grief journey. I’m 23 and my father passed in May. It’s felt like the wind was knocked out of me and my whole world has been rewritten. In the quiet times where my heart becomes anxious and my spirit is heavy and unsure, I remind myself of these stories. Not only do they bring comfort, but it gives me permission to hope. I welcome all grief advice from anyone who sees this! Thank you🩷.
I cried at this story realizing what fragile wounded creatures we are, how much suffering there is, how our wounds form us and we are invited to out grown them. How we all crave connection, understanding and love.
The poor little boy that needed love from his parents and had no help to grow up. How many others like him are in prison, lost and alone and needing to find the God that is within us all. Bless you John Paul. May God give you peace.
Just lost another brother.These interviews always give me hope we’ll see each other again someday. Thank you
So many adults are wounded children. This man speaks truth and is living his divine purpose. Love & all blessings
