As Long As I'm Living

[0:00] My name is Opale Eckshaw. [0:02] I made this timeless video for my daughter, Lara, because I wanted something special for her 40th birthday. [0:10] I'd seen several songs and stories prior to ordering and thought it would make a special gift, but wondered if it was a scam. [0:17] I started the process, but I hit exit because it seemed too expensive. [0:22] Timeless songs didn't give up on me but sent a notice of a discount, so I went for it. [0:28] I couldn't think of any other gift that would make my daughter feel truly loved and special at this milestone in her life. [0:35] She didn't have it easy, she became a widow at age 30 after only two years of marriage and raised her daughter alone until she met Red a few years ago. [0:44] She's happy and whole again, I admire her strength and love for the Lord despite her loss. [0:50] I was nervous about how to present this song to her. [0:54] I wondered if she would like it or think it was silly, but when I told her I had something I wanted her to hear, it was just as I'd hoped. [1:02] She got a little emotional, her oldest daughter started to dance around. [1:07] Rewatching it makes me laugh just to see her excitement. [1:11] The little one was eating yogurt and didn't seem to care. [1:14] And I missed videoing her doing a little shoulder dance. [1:19] I'm very glad I have the song. [1:22] It's a cherished memory. [1:24] Timeless song was wonderful to respond to my questions and made this process easy and worthwhile.
