End of the Line

Note to my beautiful mother...

I'm publishing this picture without your permission. I also need to share something important with you.

We both have wrinkles. We have earned them through decades of raising amazing children, making difficult choices, being placed in unfair situations, questioning life, squinting when the warm sun shone in our eyes, smiling with our fabulous families throughout the years and being blessed to be able to laugh beyond reason.

Most of all, when I look at this picture I don't see a single line or crease. I see how much I LOVE US.

The "intensity" that has folks all hot and bothered is an adult scene that opens the video. The commentary from folks online says they can't understand the point of a sex scene in an otherwise amazing video and therefore, most will not share it with others. Here are the stats: Video length = 4 minutes 35 seconds "Sex scene" = 3 seconds I'm not here to justify, make up your own mind. That's what art is about.  Just be an adult, listen to the message Zac Brown is sending out, which he also explains at the end of the video.
