** i can teach you how create the greatest gift that you (or anyone else) will ever receive: an audio-visual slideshow of the best times of their life.
 
for decades, i have created picture slideshow-movies (from my own music & photos) that:
1.      can make you and your loved ones extremely happy, by highlighting the best times of your lives.
2.      can be shared with loved ones, electronically, via facebook and other media.
3.      can be modified (added to, etc.).
4.      can be free (if you own microsoft office).  everybody has access to favorite photos.
 
there is nothing more powerful than the still-photograph slideshow, coupled with the right music.  it can/will bring you and yours to spontaneous laughter, tears (of joy), and smiles.
 
creating the slideshow has multiple benefits:
1.      it will keep you busy, and away from the bad news.
2.      it will be unique (as you will be the choreographer).
3.      it can be short or long, depending upon your preference.
4.      it can be used as a daily meditation.  my shows are a labor of love, and i end up feeling closer to my loved-ones during the creation of a show – as well as when it is shown.
5.      it can be used at family gatherings, including weddings, celebrations, memorials, etc.
6.      here is an example of what you can create: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jxmot7y3nk (in this video, i start the music after the first couple of photos, for effect).
