I wish he would have said "She'll never realize how much I do for her, just like I never realized how much she did for me until I watched over her as she did it all everyday."
Yeah, it was a wonderful story and good struggle, but in the end it felt like... kind of congratulatory towards the husband? Like, I'm the good guy because I'm continuing to do things she doesn't want me to do because I care about her. Now, the thing I thought was mature is that the reason he's not telling her is because it would make her feel like she's a burden if she found out. But it was kind of like he didn't understand why she didn't want help or why she was insisting on continuing to do those things. I dunno how to explain it. Just the narrative choices of the second half turned it into his story and his victory, when it should have been a victory for both of them. Particularly because we totally skipped over her figuring out how to maintain her career and duties as a partner. I also found it curious that their problem is that they're not communicating - she's not communicating her fears of being a burden, and he's not communicating his concern or reassurance of those fears. I would have expected that to be addressed - but the film still stands strong on its own without that particular resolution, just nitpicking :)
Bianca Copello I agree. It seemed to put the wife in a negative light at the end. She does all this stuff for him and then she goes blind and doesn't want anything to do with him. I get that people who suddenly become handicapped or blind, etc still want to go on like they normally would. They think they don't need anyone's help, but that's no excuse to completely shut your partner out and be cruel to them. They're trying to help you and support you. Don't get me wrong, I like that the story represents the devotion of their relationship, but it seems like the wife only continued her habits because she felt obligated to and because she didn't want to seem weak (or something like that). I didn't feel the love from her end after she goes blind.
Yeah, they missed the mark a little with his final lines. Yours makes a lot more sense. It's like there was this build up of all the shit she does for him, and then he was like, "All that I do for her..." It was really good overall, but they missed the mark at the end there.
how it is possible that this short film is 100x better than any romance movies I've ever seen? i dont think there is a movie that made me cry more than what this video made me
I'm a big fan of this video because it shows what true love really is... It's not just sex, passion and pretty words... Anyone can be in a relationship with these three things. True love is action, devotion. It's about showing the person you're with how much you love him/her. Anyone can say I love you, but how many people can prove it with action? How many people can truly show it?
That's just so cute and adorable! I wish you and your bride all the happiness in the world! :) You two sound like a beautiful couple, and I truly hope it stays this way! Be well, too (from Brazil) ;)
All Relationships are up to those in the relationship. Love between Two is all up to them. I have a very Loving Wife and She has a Very Loving Husband who will do anything for Her Happiness. Works for Us and Next year it will be Our 50th. anniversary.. Truly wishing Happiness on You with whomever You chose for a Mate. Life is to short to settle for anything less than True Love. Be Well..
Beauty attracts love....Beauty is the glue to love....Its hard to love an ugly person ...to wake up every day to an attractive person motivates and glues the love together....ugly people overtime tarnish the relationship and end up getting annoyed to the ugly one over petty things....Ive dated both and Im the hot one....
@@genghiskhan9614 I only somewhat agree. While it usually is attraction to beauty that brings people together originally, it doesn't determine longevity.
This was so beautiful. I have a neurodegenerative disorder that will eventually cause my organs to shut down and I'm likely to die young. I have fought hard against the idea of allowing anyone to go through this with me... this video reminded me that I still have value, maybe I am not meant to go through this alone and that maybe God's not done yet.
Lord is there with you. And he never sends anybody on earth without a reason. Each one of us are born to do miracles. Maybe each day you make someone smile. Even that's an achievement. Love the life you have got. Because it's difficult to get. And you will get the love back. Because what you give us what you get. Take care sweety.
Maybe it’s hard for her to hide a secret from her husband but it is much more difficult for him seeing her situation that she pretends that everything is okay even if it's not. They have an admirable love story that everybody would wanted. This video makes me cry I couldn’t help my tears to fall down from my eyes.
@DarthVader That means you are an incel you think all men have an entitlement to get women. Incels are frequently known as niceguys because they make commenrs like "all the good guys are here you just never noticed them" just like you lol

I wasn't born blind, I'm still not blind. But my eye-sight is quite bad, and it is getting worse everyday. One day I will go blind and lose my vision forever. There are so many people out there who doesen't know how important the eyes are. Your eyes makes you see the world, in your way, in an unique way. That is what makes it so special, It's what makes you who you are. For all you out there, go for regular eye checks, it might save your vision one day. Trust me, it is so worth it!
I started this video thinking "Oh look, a man willing to tolerate a woman's disability because she's willing to take care of him," (because I've been there) but then wound up in tears. Struggling with disability makes so many people judge you without knowing. They talk to your partner and tell your partner (s)he deserves a healthy person. So many people don't realize that, eventually, we all will face certain health ailments. There's a reason the "in sickness and in health" vow exists. It's because we _all,_ inevitably, face some sort of health ailment. I'm not perfect. I feel vulnerable. And I feel bad making someone else worry about me. And I just want to say *thank you* for putting out this video. Because it's so wonderful to know that even though I feel like shit every day and can't contribute as much as I really want to, and even though I may lash out occasionally due to the pain and feeling that I should be able to provide, that I am so lucky to have someone who says to me, "It's okay, you don't have to do all that." I get defensive. I was raised to believe that I should work hard and never ask for anything extra. I get mad when people help me without my permission. I'm learning to ask. I'm sorry for being a bitch. I really am. So again, thank you so much for this. Thank you for being loving. Thank you for being patient. Thank you for being understanding. Anyone out there caring for anyone else with certain health needs restricting you from "normal" life... thank you. You keep us alive.
I watched this with my boyfriend and we cried together. He told me that if I were to go blind somehow, he would still make sure that I was okay. I just about melted. 😭😭
We love this film, we really do. And we're so proud to share it with you and support Francis Chan's new book You and Me Forever - 100% of net proceeds of book sales going to fighting poverty in Africa. Help us make a difference by sharing the film, commenting below, and buying the book! (link is in the description box)
It reminds me of God's love for us. So often we are blind to his ways, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't care for us. So often we don't want him to be in our lives, but it doesn't mean that he isn't. Thank you for this beautiful video! Be blessed, jubilee project.
I have a disease that hurts me all the time. There is no cure. But the way she feels, I felt it so much that I cried all night. My boyfriend still holds my hand and kisses me. He says that he loves me, flaws in all. So this video definitely hits home for me.
My husband has a hereditary eye disease called Partial Albinalism with Horizontal Stigmas. He is legally blind and the only child at the time to have the disease in the State and NOT attend a school for the blind. His mother refused to send him. She knew he could do it. He is also a carpenter. An amazing carpenter and a really great artist. I have always known I may have to care for him should he become totally blind. His glasses cost a fortune and we have five children, so he tends to go with scratched lenses until the last possible second, which doesn't help especially with the pain his eyes cause him. This is EXACTLY how I feel about my David. I would do anything in the world for him and he would never ask for it. Thank you so much for this piece. It was beautiful.
I have depression and anxiety...I feel so bad because my girlfriend is constantly by my side...constantly helping me:)...She means so much! This video explains so much i could never put into words.
these short films are amazing . they're well done and remind us to cherish the simple things and people in our lives. they are symbolic of good moral values which in this day and age we are lacking.I love them all.
But that's what husband and wife are supposed to be. No ones life is perfect, so that is why he or she is taking care of each other. Love is the will to even die for one another.
***** Totally agree. Marriage is a partnership and can only work if both parties and giving to each other whether it be both working and doing the house chores together etc. Or if one work the other should take care of the house and all that goes with it. I love cooking and looking after my family in every way possible. :)
SimplyYue Right here Yue... lol Honestly the "soulmate" someone may be looking for is statistically improbable... SO many factors such as age, interests, sexuality, place you live in, then you have first impressions, if they find you interesting and if you find them interesting... and just... that feeling you have with each other. Even though it's so impossible... I still look for that person who will always make me smile when I see them. The butterflies that flutter when we kiss. This kind of love... its rare for a reason.
In a way, this video sounds like my life story. The parts where I fear to admit. The fear to to tell others. The terrible feeling that anchors and weights in, by just simply acknowledging and thus making it into a topic that will define the new me... A blind cripple. They even showed the same visual deterioration, associated with sever cloudy vision ( 4:54 ). But there were differences. The differences was that in my time span of slowly going blind (6 years): 5 family members passed away where I witnessed 3 of their funerals, my grandparents of both sides decided to bid their farewell along with my oldest uncle. My older sister was diagnosed with breast cancer, while my younger sis was going through her divorce and raising the mess of a child the, terrible father, left us with (she and her child lives with us). And my Ma discovering my father was cheating on her years~ ago, where upon him, he had put an end with it- when I was born. Now, I'm 27, went through a surgery to remove the Cataracts in both my eyes. I ended up with 20/20 vision, which I now can finally SEE! (with details!) My sister survived her chemo treatment, somewhat scarred, and is cancer free. My younger sister overcame her divorce, found a new man, and conceived a beautiful beautiful baby girl while her bf ( the soon the be newly weds) step forward and laid down the, empty, fatherly (TOUGH) love my unruly nephew can only respond to. And lastly my ma forgave my dad, but not forget. "Life is like roller coaster". I believe I've read that in a children's book, long ago? It only took me 6 years to understand the only thing separating an adolescent and an adult is surviving the experience of loss, pain, and sorrow of life, Where everyone would inevitably and forcefully have to face through. Take upon my story which-ever way you will, because as awful as things were headed it will get better. -And that is my victory. One thing that bothers me in the video, was how she wasn't wearing shades. Anyone with sever visual impairment wears them to help others associate them being blind and protects them from the sun from further damaging their optic nerves. Even more so when her vision slowly slips away, light sensitivity from outdoors should be an issue by then.
I honestly couldn't stop the honest smile that formed on my face when he was shown in her office at the end. God, this is beautiful. I hope, everyone have a relationship that beautiful.
This beautiful film was a kick to the heart for me. I have a macular degenerative disease and I'm very anxious to what will be my future when I'ill be blind, but hopefully I will be able to find someone like him to help me with my clumsiness. In any type of situation like this whether it is physical or mental, SUPPORT, LOVE and a sense of understanding are the best gifts that someone can give to the person affected, its all that we need. What made this even more personal is that she has the same name as I do (because it means blind), instantly cried.
+CeciEspallargas Try not to be anxious, people are here to support you. For sure you will find the right person who is going to love you like the guy in that video. I really hope everything will go fine for you. I know some things are unfair but after you go through it, be sure happiness comes your way.
When I was in a relationship I didn't spend much time or devote as much to my gf and what she wanted.She did alot for me and eventually got tired and left me. I changed myself completely after that hoping I can give love like this man did in the video.Appreciate everything you have and love them every single day. Thank you for this video very inspiring :)
Everytime I watch this video, I cry. In a way it resembles my relationship with my partner. I've been going through counseling for the past 3 to 5 months. Trying desperately to mend my mind from my past. I have a good head on my shoulders. But not a stable mind in my head. A lot of times I think I am a burden to him, a patient. I know he would be happier with someone else. But for some reason he stays, for some reason he still sleeps by my side. And I wonder why, who would want to tolerate what's wrong with me. It's nearly impossible for me to see what love is, I grew up with absolutely none of it. I know he's trying his best. The thought of all his efforts going to waste feeds the feeling of burdening him. I am broken. He's trying to help pick up the pieces and put them back together. I hope he never leaves me, I hope he knows what he's doing is helping even though I don't say anything. I hope I make it through so that I can love him as much back.
Why we get shitty romance moves in theaters, and not stuff like this. Crying like a baby. Someone needs to invest money in people who created this and let them create full scale romance movies.
Truly a masterpiece that captures Selflessness & obstacles that can be overcome. Her becoming Blind didn't weakened the relationship, it only made it stronger.
I've never seen this until I stumbled acrossed it on facebook, but as watched this short films I could do nothing but cry. This is what true love is. For the husband to guide his wife without her knowing shows compassion, sincerity, humility, and devotion. I truly love this story.
Thank you Jubilee Project for another great video! I am really enjoying Francis Chan's new book. You're video is spot on, true love is more than just a feeling, it's action.
Just one word... beautiful . After watching this video, I couldn't help but run back to my husband and give him a tight hug. I was in all tears. He couldn't understand why i was crying so much, but it's just that there are so many things he does for me, without even mentioning about them. He makes me feel so special. Sathyaraj B
This has always been my favorite video! It makes me cry every time I watch it because it's something I want so badly that I've never found... true love❤😢😢
It's really a heart warming story of how love can take you to no boundaries if you spare your heart for the one you truly love. No matter rich or poor.
my s.o recently broke up with me and I've become so cold to others that I'm slowly pushing people away, even my friends. my brother sent me the link to this so that I'll understand that no matter how much you try to push people away if they care about you, they will love you no matter what.
My husband sent me the link to this film as I am figuring out what my life means now that I have a chronic, degenerative illness. He says that whenever I feel overwhelmed by it too always remember him. Thank you so much for this, I'm sure I'll be watching it again and again.
This made my cry so hard, because I never saw this kind of love with my parents - whenever something hard happened, my dad just moved out, and then expected my mom to take him back whenever he felt like it. This was amazing and I'm so glad you guys made this. Thank you 💕
I just smiled at the comments that said "who's cutting onions", "im not crying, you are" etc. But in the end I did. This kind of relationship is something I dream of having one day. And honestly, I'm scared of being blind one day too. I have really bad vision and I'm still a teenager. It's scary to go blind especially if art and nature is your happiness..
I can't help but feel moved and teary eyed to how wonderful they made this video to be. Love is more action than words, and this little piece is beautiful all on its own.
I remember showing my wife this video months before she passed away... I can still remember like if it was yesterday. We were barely halfway of the video all of a sudden she runs upstairs crying and I went after her. The reason why she did that was because she felt like it wasn't fair that I had to be with her help her out and her situation. She was in rejection she's to have pulmonary hypertension and the doctors basically said we need a miracle. When I cashed up to her she was laying in my bad crying and I told her to finish watching it with me and not to worry so we did and we both started crying in the end... I told her that no matter what happens I will always be there for her. She passed away last year April 27th 2016 and ever since then I deal with this pain of being alone of not having my best friend by my side. I always say if I had to do it all over again I would because isn't that what love is about loving your partner through thick and thin
I am totally blind and lost my sight while I was with my current partner . He did nothing but support and love me . My issues with the video are it makes us seem helpless . I cook , clean , do dishes , laundry and everything independently. Blind people don’t like to be pitied . Although not fully accurate it is beautiful
How beautiful. What he said at last. "I dont have to have her know how much I do for her. This is how much I love her. Even if she does not know, I love her and do these" :) It gave me all goosebumps. I think that is one way to define what "love" is. It reminded me of God loving me and everyone even if I do not know it sometimes cuz I forget it or because he does not necessarily say "I did this and that and all cuz I love you so much." He does good things to everybody even if they do not know or even hate him. 😢
This was absolutely beautiful. Your work keeps getting better and better..and it evokes so much emotion! Loved the shots, the colour and the track used in this short. A great reminder of His unconditional love for us. Thank you JP!
Omg...this is a example to all the men out there...what extraordinary human being!! This video literally brought tears to my eyes because I would do the same the same thing!! When time gets harder YOU do even greater for your significant other...Thank you Lord for showing these videos to the world!!
my wife and I cry while watching this short film it shows pure love and charity to both of them how the husband and the wife care for each other. kudos to the actor and the actress also, Mei Melancon was a great actress I watched her on X-men film she was born in the phililippines too great job!
Brilliant production, very nice background instrumentals and most importantly, A very very good thought-provoking subject matter. "When Life leaves you blind, Love keeps you kind."
When you're both peopleI'm not going blind, but I can feel her story. Depression and anxiety make me feel just the same way she does. I want to work just the same without feeling like I'm someone else's burden or patient. I want to be me and not feel like I'm even less because I have episodes. I'm also the one who understands what it's like for some other people even if I don't go through them the same. I won't think of you any less or as baggage. You're a whole package and I want it, and I wont impede on what you feel. Kuddos to this film for making me realize this. Heartwarming and emotional.
I wish he would have said "She'll never realize how much I do for her, just like I never realized how much she did for me until I watched over her as she did it all everyday."
Haha sorry, no I do love the story. I should have specified. I just wish he would have said that as well.
JJ Bazile ignore that, some people overreact. ;)

Because I think it's harder to maintain the story good for 100 minutes than 10 or less
It's short that's why
Hold up this made you cry? No hate, but really?
I would love my boyfriend forever and care for him even more if this happened, which i hope never happens

"True love is more than just a feeling, it's an action."

I wasn't born blind, I'm still not blind. But my eye-sight is quite bad, and it is getting worse everyday. One day I will go blind and lose my vision forever.
There are so many people out there who doesen't know how important the eyes are. Your eyes makes you see the world, in your way, in an unique way. That is what makes it so special, It's what makes you who you are.
For all you out there, go for regular eye checks, it might save your vision one day. Trust me, it is so worth it!
Root sending love❤️
but it goes worse until 21 or 22. and then it stops like what happened with me.
In Jesus name! You will have a better than ever vision/you will see with your eyes again! Amen.
Ok boomer
I'm pretty sure everyone knows how important eyes are....
I started this video thinking "Oh look, a man willing to tolerate a woman's disability because she's willing to take care of him," (because I've been there) but then wound up in tears. Struggling with disability makes so many people judge you without knowing. They talk to your partner and tell your partner (s)he deserves a healthy person.
So many people don't realize that, eventually, we all will face certain health ailments. There's a reason the "in sickness and in health" vow exists. It's because we _all,_ inevitably, face some sort of health ailment.
I'm not perfect. I feel vulnerable. And I feel bad making someone else worry about me. And I just want to say *thank you* for putting out this video. Because it's so wonderful to know that even though I feel like shit every day and can't contribute as much as I really want to, and even though I may lash out occasionally due to the pain and feeling that I should be able to provide, that I am so lucky to have someone who says to me, "It's okay, you don't have to do all that."
I get defensive. I was raised to believe that I should work hard and never ask for anything extra. I get mad when people help me without my permission. I'm learning to ask. I'm sorry for being a bitch. I really am. So again, thank you so much for this. Thank you for being loving. Thank you for being patient. Thank you for being understanding. Anyone out there caring for anyone else with certain health needs restricting you from "normal" life... thank you. You keep us alive.

Your welcome 🙂
Rory Triscuit I started the video thinking oh look a woman willing to tolerate a man’s disability. I agree completely with what you typed
I want to have someone like him in my life :""
u'll need need to earn him. People that good aren't found randomly
Im that guy...HI my names James cho...how are you? :)
I watched this with my boyfriend and we cried together. He told me that if I were to go blind somehow, he would still make sure that I was okay. I just about melted. 😭😭
I didn't think I would cry, then he said he follows her everyday and I just started bawling.
Ikr and with that music 😭😭

Make me cry! Why you are so good. That's beautiful! Amazing, really is! Thank you guys, keep the good work.
The Jubilee Project is the only reason that I need to buy tissues
Samuel Black stop crying please. ty
Ben Ackerman
Ok :P
So beautiful! Made me cry...
You guys are seriously underrated! This is so so good! Keep it up!!
It reminds me of God's love for us. So often we are blind to his ways, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't care for us. So often we don't want him to be in our lives, but it doesn't mean that he isn't.
Thank you for this beautiful video! Be blessed, jubilee project.
This was exactly what I was thinking!!
9 years later, I’m still touched by this short film and the message behind it. Great job Jubilee!
I have a disease that hurts me all the time. There is no cure. But the way she feels, I felt it so much that I cried all night. My boyfriend still holds my hand and kisses me. He says that he loves me, flaws in all. So this video definitely hits home for me.
What diesese do you have?
He seems like a great guy!
My husband has a hereditary eye disease called Partial Albinalism with Horizontal Stigmas. He is legally blind and the only child at the time to have the disease in the State and NOT attend a school for the blind. His mother refused to send him. She knew he could do it. He is also a carpenter. An amazing carpenter and a really great artist. I have always known I may have to care for him should he become totally blind. His glasses cost a fortune and we have five children, so he tends to go with scratched lenses until the last possible second, which doesn't help especially with the pain his eyes cause him. This is EXACTLY how I feel about my David. I would do anything in the world for him and he would never ask for it. Thank you so much for this piece. It was beautiful.
How costly can a pair of glasses be?
"Thats how I still love her, even though she doesn't want me to".. The depth in those words is enormous...
I have depression and anxiety...I feel so bad because my girlfriend is constantly by my side...constantly helping me:)...She means so much! This video explains so much i could never put into words.
these short films are amazing . they're well done and remind us to cherish the simple things and people in our lives. they are symbolic of good moral values which in this day and age we are lacking.I love them all.
i died when he said he doesn't need her to know how much he've done :'(
Tears were coming out of my eyes when I saw the perspective of the man. Such a beautiful short! Keep up the great work. I loved this!
who's cutting the onions?
right!?
the woman did LOL
These eggs with everything have too much onion
6:30
cecilia
But that's what husband and wife are supposed to be. No ones life is perfect, so that is why he or she is taking care of each other. Love is the will to even die for one another.
I've seen this video at least 100 times. Never gets old and always makes me cry
Thanks
I cried like a baby when I saw this. Every woman needs a husband who is this compassionate. There aren't many of these men around. :(
:)
***** Totally agree. Marriage is a partnership and can only work if both parties and giving to each other whether it be both working and doing the house chores together etc. Or if one work the other should take care of the house and all that goes with it. I love cooking and looking after my family in every way possible. :)
Bless you. :)
Okay, we came to a conclusion. Now back to the real world and being shithead assholes one to another.
Okay, we came to a conclusion. Now back to the real world and being shithead assholes one to another.
Where can I find love like this?
I love your videos
In Christ
Adrian Chung Thank you baybeh!
***** Haha it just seems like love like that seems uncommon now a days and thank you I will look forward to it.
SimplyYue Right here Yue... lol
Honestly the "soulmate" someone may be looking for is statistically improbable... SO many factors such as age, interests, sexuality, place you live in, then you have first impressions, if they find you interesting and if you find them interesting... and just... that feeling you have with each other. Even though it's so impossible... I still look for that person who will always make me smile when I see them. The butterflies that flutter when we kiss. This kind of love... its rare for a reason.
In a way, this video sounds like my life story. The parts where I fear to admit. The fear to to tell others. The terrible feeling that anchors and weights in, by just simply acknowledging and thus making it into a topic that will define the new me... A blind cripple. They even showed the same visual deterioration, associated with sever cloudy vision ( 4:54 ). But there were differences.
The differences was that in my time span of slowly going blind (6 years): 5 family members passed away where I witnessed 3 of their funerals, my grandparents of both sides decided to bid their farewell along with my oldest uncle. My older sister was diagnosed with breast cancer, while my younger sis was going through her divorce and raising the mess of a child the, terrible father, left us with (she and her child lives with us). And my Ma discovering my father was cheating on her years~ ago, where upon him, he had put an end with it- when I was born.
Now, I'm 27, went through a surgery to remove the Cataracts in both my eyes. I ended up with 20/20 vision, which I now can finally SEE! (with details!) My sister survived her chemo treatment, somewhat scarred, and is cancer free. My younger sister overcame her divorce, found a new man, and conceived a beautiful beautiful baby girl while her bf ( the soon the be newly weds) step forward and laid down the, empty, fatherly (TOUGH) love my unruly nephew can only respond to. And lastly my ma forgave my dad, but not forget.
"Life is like roller coaster". I believe I've read that in a children's book, long ago?
It only took me 6 years to understand the only thing separating an adolescent and an adult is surviving the experience of loss, pain, and sorrow of life, Where everyone would inevitably and forcefully have to face through.
Take upon my story which-ever way you will, because as awful as things were headed it will get better.
-And that is my victory.
One thing that bothers me in the video, was how she wasn't wearing shades. Anyone with sever visual impairment wears them to help others associate them being blind and protects them from the sun from further damaging their optic nerves. Even more so when her vision slowly slips away, light sensitivity from outdoors should be an issue by then.
Thank you.
The fact about being adults having a lot to do with going beyond loss and sorrow sounds very true.
Lannuz amazing happy to see that things turned around for ya!
Lannuz Inspiring! Thank you for sharing your story!
Lannuz nobody cares because we dont know if its the truth, the internet is not the right place to type such shit.
Lannuz Not to be ignorant, but you became blind, and you were able to watch this video and type out this comment?
I honestly couldn't stop the honest smile that formed on my face when he was shown in her office at the end. God, this is beautiful. I hope, everyone have a relationship that beautiful.
This beautiful film was a kick to the heart for me. I have a macular degenerative disease and I'm very anxious to what will be my future when I'ill be blind, but hopefully I will be able to find someone like him to help me with my clumsiness. In any type of situation like this whether it is physical or mental, SUPPORT, LOVE and a sense of understanding are the best gifts that someone can give to the person affected, its all that we need. What made this even more personal is that she has the same name as I do (because it means blind), instantly cried.
+CeciEspallargas Try not to be anxious, people are here to support you. For sure you will find the right person who is going to love you like the guy in that video. I really hope everything will go fine for you. I know some things are unfair but after you go through it, be sure happiness comes your way.
When I was in a relationship I didn't spend much time or devote as much to my gf and what she wanted.She did alot for me and eventually got tired and left me. I changed myself completely after that hoping I can give love like this man did in the video.Appreciate everything you have and love them every single day. Thank you for this video very inspiring :)
omg. Im a 24yrs old male.. im crying like a bitch.. QQ
***** lol..it happens!!
+Berge, Stian Emil Means you have a heart and like 99.9% of us you want love and peace in the world.
I'm 20 and me too.hâhhahaah
+Berge, Stian Emil I'm 24, and I'm crying too. I love my crush so much.
+Gabe Newell LORD GABEN! OMG OMG OMG! :D GIVE US FREE CSGO!
Everytime I watch this video, I cry. In a way it resembles my relationship with my partner. I've been going through counseling for the past 3 to 5 months. Trying desperately to mend my mind from my past. I have a good head on my shoulders. But not a stable mind in my head. A lot of times I think I am a burden to him, a patient. I know he would be happier with someone else. But for some reason he stays, for some reason he still sleeps by my side. And I wonder why, who would want to tolerate what's wrong with me. It's nearly impossible for me to see what love is, I grew up with absolutely none of it. I know he's trying his best. The thought of all his efforts going to waste feeds the feeling of burdening him. I am broken. He's trying to help pick up the pieces and put them back together. I hope he never leaves me, I hope he knows what he's doing is helping even though I don't say anything. I hope I make it through so that I can love him as much back.
This is the kind of love, we all should live for.
Why we get shitty romance moves in theaters, and not stuff like this. Crying like a baby. Someone needs to invest money in people who created this and let them create full scale romance movies.
Quit this idea that somebody else has to do it. We need to start doing things ourselves.
How can you even think of putting a dislike on this top-notch creation?
well now we can't see them anymore
I saw this video like 20 times and still cry every time I look at it
This made me cry
Truly a masterpiece that captures Selflessness & obstacles that can be overcome. Her becoming Blind didn't weakened the relationship, it only made it stronger.
I've never seen this until I stumbled acrossed it on facebook, but as watched this short films I could do nothing but cry. This is what true love is. For the husband to guide his wife without her knowing shows compassion, sincerity, humility, and devotion. I truly love this story.
NAB STER same i came from facebook
Thank you Jubilee Project for another great video! I am really enjoying Francis Chan's new book. You're video is spot on, true love is more than just a feeling, it's action.
Samantha Rozzell thanks so much! we're so glad that you are enjoying Francis Chan's new book as well!
Samantha Rozzell is the book like this video?
Just one word... beautiful . After watching this video, I couldn't help but run back to my husband and give him a tight hug. I was in all tears. He couldn't understand why i was crying so much, but it's just that there are so many things he does for me, without even mentioning about them. He makes me feel so special. Sathyaraj B
This has always been my favorite video! It makes me cry every time I watch it because it's something I want so badly that I've never found... true love❤😢😢
It's really a heart warming story of how love can take you to no boundaries if you spare your heart for the one you truly love. No matter rich or poor.
my s.o recently broke up with me and I've become so cold to others that I'm slowly pushing people away, even my friends. my brother sent me the link to this so that I'll understand that no matter how much you try to push people away if they care about you, they will love you no matter what.
same too. after my break up i began to see darkness all around me. i cant trust not a single soul anymore. this world is a cruel world
wow, beautifully written and directed!! Loved it!
This was so beautiful and touching. It shows what true love is. Patient, kind and enduring.
That's true love right there. ❤️😭
Ugh, I've watched this so many times over the years and it STILL gets me every time. Jubilee, you are such a gift to this world.
My husband sent me the link to this film as I am figuring out what my life means now that I have a chronic, degenerative illness. He says that whenever I feel overwhelmed by it too always remember him.
Thank you so much for this, I'm sure I'll be watching it again and again.
I am crying so hard. This is so beautiful. This is what I call Love
This made my cry so hard, because I never saw this kind of love with my parents - whenever something hard happened, my dad just moved out, and then expected my mom to take him back whenever he felt like it. This was amazing and I'm so glad you guys made this. Thank you 💕
If someone ever asked me what love is. I'll tell them, love is blind devotion
A touching story. Making me cry like a baby. Hope we learn to love no matter the circumstances.
two years later and i still love this film.
I just smiled at the comments that said "who's cutting onions", "im not crying, you are" etc.
But in the end I did.
This kind of relationship is something I dream of having one day. And honestly, I'm scared of being blind one day too. I have really bad vision and I'm still a teenager. It's scary to go blind especially if art and nature is your happiness..
Jubilee making me cry at a 9 min film like it's A Walk to Remember. 😭😭😭
sobbing 9 years later
Everybody needs such a man in their life. He is so caring and the video made me almostttt tear up
I can't help but feel moved and teary eyed to how wonderful they made this video to be. Love is more action than words, and this little piece is beautiful all on its own.
I remember showing my wife this video months before she passed away... I can still remember like if it was yesterday. We were barely halfway of the video all of a sudden she runs upstairs crying and I went after her. The reason why she did that was because she felt like it wasn't fair that I had to be with her help her out and her situation. She was in rejection she's to have pulmonary hypertension and the doctors basically said we need a miracle. When I cashed up to her she was laying in my bad crying and I told her to finish watching it with me and not to worry so we did and we both started crying in the end... I told her that no matter what happens I will always be there for her. She passed away last year April 27th 2016 and ever since then I deal with this pain of being alone of not having my best friend by my side. I always say if I had to do it all over again I would because isn't that what love is about loving your partner through thick and thin
This is one of the most heartwarming short films I've ever watched. Really, what a job well done!
This reminds me of my parents. My mom is fully blind now but she's so independent and my dad admires her💕
言葉も大事だけど、それを超えるのはやっぱり行動ですね。
自己満足に捉えられる可能性もありますが、愛とは人それぞれの形があり、その一つがこれなんだと思いました。
素敵な動画に涙が止まりませんでした。
Wtf. I'm holding tears. Jubilee did that? Bru. Talented people.
WAIT holy I never knew Jubilee made this :o I remembered falling in love with this short film when it came out
I am totally blind and lost my sight while I was with my current partner . He did nothing but support and love me . My issues with the video are it makes us seem helpless . I cook , clean , do dishes , laundry and everything independently. Blind people don’t like to be pitied . Although not fully accurate it is beautiful
I'm glad your not racist
You must’ve not watched the whole video
So beautiful, one of the best short films i've ever seen. By the end of the video it had already been uploaded to my top 3 on my head. Thank you!
I am an absolute bucket tears 😭 😭 😭. This is true unconditional love. The kind of love I want to give and the kind of love I want to receive....
How beautiful. What he said at last. "I dont have to have her know how much I do for her. This is how much I love her. Even if she does not know, I love her and do these" :)
It gave me all goosebumps. I think that is one way to define what "love" is.
It reminded me of God loving me and everyone even if I do not know it sometimes cuz I forget it or because he does not necessarily say "I did this and that and all cuz I love you so much." He does good things to everybody even if they do not know or even hate him. 😢
I strive to be that kind of husband one day
Edit: actually no, i strive to be the kind of person he is one day
Good choice
This was absolutely beautiful. Your work keeps getting better and better..and it evokes so much emotion! Loved the shots, the colour and the track used in this short. A great reminder of His unconditional love for us. Thank you JP!
Who could ever dislike this?! When I found out her husband would always follow her without who knowing just made me traumatized. Great short film!
Omg...this is a example to all the men out there...what extraordinary human being!! This video literally brought tears to my eyes because I would do the same the same thing!! When time gets harder YOU do even greater for your significant other...Thank you Lord for showing these videos to the world!!
my wife and I cry while watching this short film it shows pure love and charity to both of them how the husband and the wife care for each other. kudos to the actor and the actress also, Mei Melancon was a great actress I watched her on X-men film she was born in the phililippines too great job!
''love is an action''
I learned something while watching this beautiful video. Thank you! :')
Brilliant production, very nice background instrumentals and most importantly, A very very good thought-provoking subject matter.
"When Life leaves you blind, Love keeps you kind."
I love you
I am absolutely sobbing ... This short is such a beautiful portrayal of true love. Thank you Jubilee Project for making me cry
That's the engaged film making humanity needs now ! I could watch it n times and still feel something gracious every single time ...
Tears automatically fall everytime. :,)
You see, that's quite an irrational diagnosis. *****
same herr
this was beautiful :)
My mom is blind nd I still love her so much ☺
Made me cry. You're a really special man.
When you're both peopleI'm not going blind, but I can feel her story. Depression and anxiety make me feel just the same way she does. I want to work just the same without feeling like I'm someone else's burden or patient. I want to be me and not feel like I'm even less because I have episodes. I'm also the one who understands what it's like for some other people even if I don't go through them the same. I won't think of you any less or as baggage. You're a whole package and I want it, and I wont impede on what you feel.
Kuddos to this film for making me realize this. Heartwarming and emotional.
