Coming Home

DOCUMENTARY: Lieutenant Dan has been deployed in Afghanistan since last October and is on his way home. But what makes it special is that he has a new baby daughter waiting to meet him for the first time. Watch as this journey unfolds throughout the day as the tension builds and the family reunites for the first time as three. It’s a crusher. You can’t help but feel some of the patriotism when he arrives home. As I said in a prequel to this post, this is the stuff life is all about.

I chose this song because it starts soft and subtle, with a little bit of mystery. But the end has a huge payoff that I love. Lifehouse – “Everything”.

Oh wow. What can I say… This is my favorite video Ryan has done and not just because I’m related to the stars! The anticipation and build up was so exciting. When the family was reunited and the song matched the moment – wow, words can’t describe the feeling. Perfect song, perfect family, perfect video! Great job Ryan!
