This is a nice video, I remember sharing times with my dad when I was kid learning to do stuff he done. That is why I know how to do electrical work, and plumbing today, and he also past it a long to my child!

RANDY TRAVIS! I've seen him twice with someone I pray for every day now. He sure sings some awesome songs that do make me cry. All the commercials are great.

It made me remember my Father and my brother doing the same thing when we were young a few years back.

I have a friend just like this. He fixes everything for everyone in the neighborhood. I get to "hold the light" for him occasionally but it is usually his son. Great man, really makes a difference.

I can't help but smile every time I see this commercial. It reminds me of my Father, and the song stays in my head most of the day. Great spot!

This makes me say that it is always the parents who can teach their kids the best lessons in life. No doubt, I am what my father taught me.

This touching and moving ad is so powerful in its own way; I personally have a friend, aged in years, who thinks of others before himself. He demonstrates to myself and others, that we don't have to take credit for our actions if given freely from the heart... The accompanying song is truly outstanding! Thank you for reaching out to others, by teaching through example!!

I am so pleased with your site and I have used it for the past five years in teaching the kids in elementary school how to live life and achieve their dreams to become the best they can be.

Thanks for this wonderful bits of hope. I needed them today. I held the light for my dad too. I never realized all the good things I was learning. Kids don't get much of that these days. I work in a K-8 school and I want my kids to appreciate the messages here. Thanks for all you do!! Please make more!

That was me forty five years ago. I held the light for my dad. I handed him the tools and the parts. We didn't realize then. It wasn't about completing the project as much as it was building our relationship. My dad was and always will be my hero and my best friend no matter how long he is gone, no matter how long I live.

These messages remind me years ago of Hallmark messages. Very good production and very good messages. Thanks for your work.

While I was watching this spot I heard my 6 year old son talking with my husband (who is not the boy's father). And as soon as the spot ends I could understand that maybe he is not my son's father but he is his DADDY.

Graciel S. from San Diego, California

You all did great work with this spot and I love the message - its so true.

This commercial reminds me of the saying, "give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish and he will eat forever." I love these commercials. Keep up the good work.

Every time I start something and my 3 1/2 year old son wants to help I think of this ad and I find patience within to let him help.
