This video made my cry. I lost my lola earlier this year. We only visited her during Christmas or her birthday. It made me realize how much more time we should have spent with her while we had the chance.

I miss my loving lola who raised us. May she be happy in heaven, until we meet again

My grandma’s birthday was Dec 25 and every Christmas was about her. She’s been gone 10 years now and I miss her every day

Christmas is about a Child who was born in a manger because "there was no room for them in a place where travellers lodged". Merry Christmas to everyone.

😭 Christmas means so much in so many ways. Love, longing, grief, joy, gratitude...I'm feeling it all by watching this. I'm honored & humbled that I could be a part of this & uplift voices to inspire hope. Thank you One Down & crew for all that you've done & continue to do for our kapwa around the world!
