(UPDATE: GoFundMe link is posted.)

For so many families, the joy of Christmas is dampened by family fights or division and the pressure to choose sides. Sometimes it seems like miracles of redemption, love, and forgiveness aren’t seen in real life anymore, but exist only in movies.

This year, in Ohio, on December 23rd, as one family gathered they witnessed what can happen when two people humble themselves and believe in family, love, and commitment.

My parents were married for more than 20 years, divorced, fought a lot, went to work on themselves. Years later, they start dating and as of yesterday, this happened;

By Sunday morning the video had been watched over 300,000 times, and Jeffrey chimed back in:

I still legit cry every time I watch this video. This is such a blessing to my family, who have suffered years of division. One family, whole again, I couldn’t wish for anything better for Christmas!

In response to a tweet congratulating his parents and wondering if the video will go viral (which we’re trying to help with), Jeffrey replied that if it did he’d start a GoFundMe for their wedding, because “we’re a broke family, but they deserve something extra.” Jeffrey, start the GoFundMe and we’ll link it here. UPDATE: Jeffrey did start a GoFundMe – you can donate to help his folks here.

I think it’s great that the tweet about my folks is getting this much attention. If anyone deserves some today, it’s jeff sr and Lorrie because their story is pretty great

What an example Jeffrey has of commitment, love, forgiveness, and redemption – an example that is sure to bless his life and generations to come.
