Youtube daily report Jul 31 2017

A while back, our local news had a story that

described kind of a scary situation.

A, a local chief deputy of the fire department

was driving over a bridge, a very tall bridge,

on his way home when he noticed

a car parked on the side of the bridge, kind of at the peak of the bridge.

And he noticed a woman standing beside the car at the edge of the bridge.

He pulled over to the side of the road, and by looking at the woman,

came to the conclusion that this woman was planning to jump.

He called for reinforcements, for more people to come and help.

But after he got off his radio, he got out of his car,

and he went over towards the woman and started talking to her,

hoping to delay her for long enough that someone,

someone could help him get her to walk away from the bridge. He asked

about her family. He asked about her life.

He asked her what was going on.

And he was able to talk with her for long enough

that a professional negotiator finally showed up and was able

to get her to willingly walk away from the edge of the bridge.

It was a successful end to

what could have been a really scary and sad situation.

And it's an ending that I think the woman probably did not see coming

when she approached the bridge that day.

After all, she was there because she was ready to give up on life.

I don't know what was bothering her,

but I know there are any number of reasons a person might come to the conclusion

that it's just not worth it to keep moving forward in life.

But this week, from the Word of God, we're going to be looking at a passage that

reminds us that God believes that you can.

Throughout this entire week, we'll be looking at the verses surrounding just one short passage

from 2 Corinthians chapter 4 where the apostle Paul says

"Therefore, we do not lose heart" (2 Corinthians 4:16).

I like that verse because it's both an acknowledgement from God that life can be

sometimes very difficult,

but it's also a reminder that the difficulties and troubles of life

don't need to stop us from moving forward with confidence.

And there's one very important word in that very short verse and that is the word . . .

therefore.

Whenever you see the word "therefore" on the pages of scripture,

you need to ask yourself one question.

You need to ask yourself, "What is that therefore

there

for?"

In other words, there's always a reason.

In that verse, Paul says we don't have to lose heart. That's a big promise.

He's saying, no matter who you are, no matter what's going on,

no matter what kind of situation you find yourself in,

you always have a reason to move forward with confidence.

But why does he believe that? What's that based on?

Therefore . . .

well, it's based on something.

There are a lot of reasons he believes that,

reasons that are based in the future,

reasons that are based in the present,

reasons that are based in the past,

all of which we're going to talk about this week.

But to begin this week, I want to remind you just

why that "therefore," as well as every other word included in scripture,

is there.

In Romans chapter 15,

Paul writes this,

That's why these words are here.

Because God believes you have a reason for hope.

He believes you have a reason to move forward.

And I'm looking forward to sharing those reasons with you as we go through this week.

Do you have any stories from your life about situations where

the hope that God gives in his Word saved you or

led you through what was a very scary or discouraging situation?

We'd love to hear about it.

We'd love to rejoice with you in the way God gave you hope.

Share that below

and I look forward to seeing you tomorrow.

first thing I'm going to do is show you how to import a song this can be a file

picture whatever you need you know other video files are pictures songs whatever

this is how you do it right first thing you want to do is go to file and come

down to inport or you can hit ctrl+I so it's important let's import a file right

this right then you have audio file all right dare distinguish your video clip

shows that thumbnails scrub across them you can see uh you know previews of your

video the audio file it doesn't have a preview of it but it does shows a

waveform and you can drag it and hit winning scrubs so it's pretty much how

you distinguish the two video and audio but that's how you import an audio file

alright now let's drag a file to your timeline this is how you add a file to

your timeline alright you can always create a new sequence from the clip but

let's go ahead and drag it and drop so I did all I did was grab it put your mouse

over it left click on it and hold it and you're turning to a little fist alright

so mouse left click is highlighted hold your left click drag it turns to a

little fish see where it says drop media here to create sequence let's just drop

it anywhere in this gray area and it creates you put it put your video file

on your timeline now as you can see it has your video file and your audio file

that V right here stands for video alright this bottom part is your audio

that's your waveform now when you drag it from your arm your project window

right here if you drag it like this and you drop it it will always drag your

media and your video file always alright so what you want to do if you want to

not have your video and your audio file drag when you do this what you want to

do is double click on it and it will come up in your preview pane and what

you would do is you can either drag video only see there's a little mini

clip right here with your hand drag video only

when you drag it it will drag just your video clip no audio file or you can just

drag audio only see the little hand on the waveform you can just drag your

audio file take it drag it and it will only drag the audio so you can do either

or when you double click and put it in your preview window but if you want to

drag both of them let's drag both of them from your

project window drop it in alright now let's go ahead and drag another clip we

just need both audio both of them so we got two clips in our time alright next

thing I'm going to touch on is a cutting a clip alright you want to cut it clip

there's two ways you could do it you can click on C on your keyboard I just hit C

and it turns into a razor blade alright go back to my opponent see the

hour now if you hit C let us see for cat you hit C on your keyboard turns into a

razor blade now do that then you make it cut all you have to do is enough click

with your mouse click click click click good that's how you make your cuts you

don't want to hit C you can hit the razor tool come over here on your little

side paddle and click on your razor blade that's your razor tool it shows

you the sub shortcut also see so you eat a click see come over here click on your

razor tool and make your cut alright simple now let me show you guys

how to snap your Clips together after you make a cut you can snap your Clips

together alright so this is basic editing so if

you want to make a cut right here right want to make a cut right here you don't

want to keep this part you delete it all you have to do is click on this part and

drag it over here and it will snap now they don't automatically snap if you

don't have this magnet this is a magnet outside I'll make it has to be blue it's

disabled right now if it's great so you don't have that enabled and you try to

bring it over it going to slide as far as you let it slide what you have to do

is click on your name it make sure it's enabled your turn blue go to your clip

and then snap alright so you make a cut with your razor tool make this cut you

don't want that delete you want to bring this together snap that that's how you

snap your clips together alright now I'm going to show you guys how to put

letters on your videos I create some titles this is basic I create in the new

Adobe Premiere Pro they stay have the legacy tool panel but this is how you do

it in the new setup this is Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2017 what you want to do

is click on T that should type tool so you need to do this is your window pane

right here all you have to do is just click on that and type what's your not

let's put a let's put my company name visionary artist alright now I have

visionary art group type then you go to your effects control click on that and

what you type should be in a text effect it should be in a text effect visionary

are not to adjust these to adjust the Visionaire our group all you have to do

is click on your source text and let's just just put Gotham bolding alright

this is my source text let's change this the Gotham Bowl it's got the boat you

can resize it transform you can resize it by going to transform

you can move the position you can do all this this is how you create titles we to

do it over from their pool you can change the opacity anchor point to scale

and another you can also keep free to change the color you could go right here

to appearance let's change the color just to show you guys that let's change

the color and voila you can add a stroke shadow or whatever you need

now when you want to create another fault another text let's go ahead and

put visiting our group let's put all just a youtube channel alright now see I

no separate text for YouTube and there you can edit these separate again you

can change the color of YouTube just make it green I'll exchange it of code

you can see let's make it red and you can transform scale all of that is

separate right up down left right rotation and all that stuff alright the

separate right click on them edit those separate but that's how you create tiles

titles in the new Adobe Premiere Pro alright now you got your text and stuff

on there right let's say you want to take this and use it as a thumbnail for

your video on YouTube alright the easiest way to do that is

snap export frame snap it with this right here

it's a little camera get control shift E or you can export frame that's the

simplest way what export frame is well I have this marker

it's wherever is gonna whatever frame is on is that's what frame is going to

export so if I move my marker right here just frame with export I move my marker

over here this frame with export so let's just put it right here and let's

click our camera and it will pop-up export frame you could give it a name

let's call it YouTube let's call it YouTube export make sure you remember

where you save your saved path back the desktop now what you can do is if you

check this click this box that says import into project if you if you have

it unclick it will save whatever your path is and that's it but if you check

this box it would save wherever your path is and it will also import that

thumbnail back into your project so I like to import it back into the project

too that way I can use it maybe as a in the screen for YouTube you know so it's

going click OK you see it'll save all my path but it

also give me a thumbnail back into my project all right now let's put a basic

effects let me show you with some basic effects is you know this is your fixed

panel so you want to put like a fade everything is pretty much like on the

videos transition and video fix so let's put like a fade you want to put like a

FEM dissolve or you know like a feminine solve or you know pasty fade you know

you can go to video transitions dissolve film dissolves you know let me show you

this way video effects video transitions you got dissolved slides wipes zooms

these are your basic effects right let's just say we want to put a feminist off

alright to put a film resolve right here just drag and drop your fix so yet I

just drag it and drop it on the beginning of my clip I want that effect

on the show and that's it drag and drop your effects whatever you want it I want

to infect on this in clipless let's just drag and drop it on the end so I will

fade out right here got it same thing applies to all of

these effects all over my drag and drop you know just drag it wherever you want

now if you drag if you want these two clips to fade let's delete this if you

guys want to clips to fade into each other

simplest way is just snap them together and take your fade and it's drag it in

the middle you see highs on both Clips if it was on one side there just be on

that side if I wanted on this clip only it will be on that side if I want these

two clips to fade together I was dropping in the middle and you can see

both for highlight one is like one stop today if you look you'll see the you see

the actual effect is on one side actual effect is on the right side when you

drop it in the middle is in the middle right what it could is it's dropping and

you see it right at his face on both okay you see how they fade in all right

cool now last but not least this is how you export your video if you have Adobe

Premiere Pro they have presets file export all right file export media media

file export media click that alright these are your export settings alright

first thing I say do is give you a video a name let's give it a you to export

alright remember where you saving it saving - to my desktop I gave it a name

your format is the default format you shouting presets can be very important

important this is where you can find presets for almost any electronic device

they have most people use right Android tablets iPhones Apple TV iPad

Barnes and Noble's Nook tablets you know HD TVs TiVo or even exporting 360 and

all that stuff so and they have YouTube and Vimeo pieces presets most people use

YouTube and video as there's you know they're streaming on platforms so

platforms are video hosting platforms whatever you want to call it but me

personally I go with YouTube or if I'm giving somebody a raw file I just

exported it the highest resolution I can but for the most part YouTube HD 1080p

or YouTube 2160p 4k alright my source file is 4k I can export this to 4k or

1080p so let's just leave it at 4k you can see everything changes this is your

output this is your source shows all your specs and stuff now what you want

to come down to is you can just leave everything as default the default is

pretty good for the average person alright my case I make changes but for

the average person the default is straight go to render render maximum

depth this is my settings for when I'm exporting music videos you know there's

this does take a little more time but it boosts the quality use maximum render

quality and you can just leave everything as if your folks in you know

and I'll just click export so you have to do export right and you click export

your video will start encoding and we have an estimated time remaining and

percent reason and that's pretty much it man so hopefully this wasn't too long

but this is for the new order people who are just starting out with Adobe

Premiere Pro I want to you know I learn the program the basics of important

importing a song or file a picture you know adding clips to the timeline you

know cutting that clip snapping them clips together putting letters on a

video putting effects taking a screenshot and then export in the video

this is for these guys I so hopefully this helps a lot of you you

know that's about it man Joe papers visionary our group

institutions, in other words they leave school, college, university, they stop

learning, and I'm telling you, the moment you stop learning, that's the moment you

stop growing. And so, for entrepreneurs, I'm saying to you, continue learning. It

doesn't matter who you're learning from but just choose them wisely and see if

you can pick up a nugget here and a nugget there. Read books, go to workshops, go to

seminars. And the reason why is this - your wealth, your business, your success, can

only grow to the extent that you grow. So you learn, you grow, and your business

takes care of itself and it grows as well. So I want to leave you with that

Europe Bus Travel from Budapest, Hungary to Krakow, Poland - Duration: 14:20.

Well good morning good morning from Budapest.

We are back from Kyrgyzstan.

We really didn't vlog any of that because our flight was like at what six in the morning.

Yeah.

We were up at four.

We were so drowsy and we just slept on both flights.

Yeah, we were proper zombies.

Yes.

And we figured it was the exact same journey just back to here.

Yeah.

But yeah we are going to vlog today.

We've made a very quick change of plans.

Oh my gosh.

Haha.

Originally we were going to go to the Balkans.

Yes.

And now we're going to the Baltics.

Yes because we arrived here in Budapest and it was so hot we couldn't function.

And we were just thinking like are we really going to go further south where the temperatures

are like mid 30s and even going to be going up to 40s.

We were like no that is not a good idea.

Let's head north instead where it is a bit cooler.

Yeah, so it has been put on the backburner.

We're definitely going to go in the late fall.

Yes.

But just not now.

Anyways, today we are off to Krakow, Poland.

Mmmmhmmm.

So we are all packed up and ready to go to the bus terminal but first we're going to

give you the quickest apartment tour because we didn't get to film one.

Totally forgot about it.

This is the ultimate in procrastination the last time we were in Budapest.

We were like oh we'll film the apartment tour today.

Today today.

And we ran out of time.

So this is a different apartment.

It is much smaller.

Yes, we were only staying here for 2 nights and we didn't rent as big of a place.

Yeah.

Let's do a quick tour.

Kitchen area.

Dining table.

Yeah.

Stove.

I'll show you the bathroom quick.

Bathroom.

Check this out.

Got a shower.

Typical European shower.

Really small functional though.

And then over here, if you come into here we have the bed.

The bedroom.

The bed which is nice and a futon.

And then we have another bathroom which is the toilet.

Yeah, one is the shower and a sink and the other is a toilet and a sink.

Yeah.

And yeah actually this place is really small but very space efficient.

Like they packed in a lot of things.

Yeah.

And so yeah we had everything we needed.

We had a table, we had a futon to do some work as well.

And a nice big bed.

And the thing about Budapest that you really that is very typical is just outside of the

apartment where you have the courtyard and the balcony.

And we're on the 5th floor and it is a little bit freaky.

It is scary.

Yeah like the railing comes up to the my waist so it is slightly terrifying and we're going

to go show you that now.

Alright guys here is the balcony.

And one more quick shot.

Well, we've made it nice and early.

Let me see what time it is?

It is only 9:46.

Our bus doesn't leave until 10:30 so it is nice to be early.

I find, at least traveling bus bus in Europe, if you come a little bit early you have a

better chance of snagging the seat you want.

Yeah!

That is always nice.

But it is going to be a little bit sad to leave Budapest.

I mean it was a very cool city.

The architecture was amazing, the nightlife was like legendary.

We're not so much into that anymore but like the ruin bars are simply cool.

And it was a very affordable city like we really got into eating locally where we were

having nice cheeses and meats and some of the best like dry red wine.

Very surprisingly good.

It was the Egri Bikaver.

Hopefully I'm saying that right.

If not I will have butchered that at least 3 or 4 times since I've been here.

And so yeah it is really cool but it is such an abrupt change of plans.

Like as of yesterday we were going to Zagreb, Croatia and now we're literally going in the

opposite direction to Kraków, Poland.

So yeah that is travel for you sometimes.

And well well back to Poland.

Back to Poland we go.

We had just a slight taste of it two years ago we were in Warsaw.

Yeah.

Yeah, and that was like we had so much fun there.

We ate really well.

Oh my gosh.

The pierogi oh my goodness for like lunch and dinner everyday.

And what was it?

The Hunter's Stew.

Was it Bigos or something like that?

And I forget the dessert.

It was like you know that long tubular shape.

Yes.

Yeah.

Haha.

So I feel like we've just barely scratched the surface in terms of cuisine so we're definitely

going to try dive in a bit more.

Alright, Flixbus again.

Why flixbus?

Because it is cheap.

It is cheaper than taking the train or flying.

And how much were the tickets for this one?

We paid 11 Euros and it is a seven hour bus ride.

That is not bad.

What?

What?

Well Sam?

I could hear you getting yelled at by the lady managing the toilet.

That was the most angry washroom attendant I've ever encountered anywhere.

What happened?

She was screaming at me.

I don't even know.

I'm pretty sure I gave her the exact change.

She didn't like it.

She wanted a 50 Euro cent piece.

Uh huh.

And she gave me 10 back and then she was just screaming.

Raw raw get in there.

It was so funny.

I've never met someone so angry in a washroom before.

So the update is that we've arrived in Slovakia.

I think we're somewhere in the middle.

Yeah.

And yeah I think we have about two and half or three hours left to reach Poland and cross

the border.

And it has been a beautiful beautiful drive.

Like Slovakia is man that is a country I'd like to explore more in the future.

Mountains and forests.

Yes, lots of forests and just lots of quaint little towns.

It looks really cool.

So I do like to know where we are.

So we are in Ruzomberok.

I probably butchered that fiercely.

And we're on the way to Krakow.

Haha.

Well we're here.

We've arrived.

And you know what?

I think most travelers after like arriving to their destination are just like dead set

on like getting right to their accommodations and checking in and whatever.

But no not for us.

We're hungry and so before we even think about going to our AirBNB we're going to find some

food here.

Surprise surprise actually there is no surprise.

What is the 1st thing that we're ordering in Poland?

We're having Pierogi.

Oh, of course.

Two orders of pierogies and one is called Ruskie.

I had forgotten what that means.

Like what the filling is.

Maybe it is like meat and onion.

I don't know.

We'll see.

And the other one?

I couldn't even decipher it.

I was just like yes I'll get the other one as well.

We ate so many pierogies the last time we were in Poland in Warsaw.

Yes, we did.

Oh my gosh.

That was so good.

And also we ate a lot of pierogi when we were in back in university in Kingston.

Yes.

Especially in winter.

Yeah.

But those are kind of like fake Canadian pierogi.

This is the real deal.

And they are here.

What is the first plate Audrey?

Pierogi Ruskie.

The Ruskie Pierogi.

It looks like caramelized onions on top.

Oh my gosh, those look so good.

Well, go in.

Try some.

Oh.

I'm still waiting for the second order they're going to call it any second.

They could but maybe this is like potato and cheese.

Haha.

Mmmm.

Is it good?

It is good.

Any idea?

It definitely has onion in there.

Meat too?

No meat.

Oh okay.

This one is meatless.

And it is peppery.

So I've actually been experimenting a little bit with fasting lately and oh my gosh and

I'm just going to be honest.

I haven't had food in a while so this is like even if this isn't good it is still going

to be good.

I'm really hungry.

This is fasting for weight loss.

What do you call it?

Intermittent Fasting?

Intermittent Fasting and then I go stuffing myself with pierogi.

So we're not sure it is working.

Hahaha.

It sounds more like starving yourself.

It is an attempt.

Mmmmm.

That is really nice.

Man, I'm so hungry and it is nice to be eating pierogies back in Poland.

Yeah.

I can't wait for the second order to show up.

I know.

We still have another full plate.

This is awesome.

Mmmm.

Alright, so Audrey ordered these and she forgets the name so I'm just going to cut them open

and see what they are.

We have 10 more.

We already finished the first plate.

Check out that.

I can tell you the name.

Let's see if I can remember.

So it is called Pierogi Z Miesem or something like that.

And I've already dissected one.

Dissecting.

And you can tell is has meat.

Science lab.

Mmmmm.

How is that?

I like these ones a bit more.

Yeah?

Oh yeah.

Good stuff.

Your turn.

So I'm sure we're going to be making a dedicated pierogi vlog while we are here.

Yeah.

Absolutely.

I mean these are okay.

It is not amazing but it is like bus station food.

Yeah.

But we're so hungry that we don't even mind.

I think some of the best pierogi we ever had were at that little bar that was just right

across from our AirBNB in Warsaw.

Like that place was just amazing.

That was like a little dark pub.

Yeah.

Totally forget the name.

I know exactly I can remember exactly what it looked like.

I can remember where it was.

I just can't remember the name.

This almost has the texture of like canned tuna but we think it is beef.

No way of knowing for sure.

Two plates finished.

Hungry hippos satiated.

In a matter of minutes.

We devoured that.

There was not a lot of oxygen consumed in between bites.

Nope.

And now where are we off to?

The AirBNB?

We need to find an ATM.

Oh right.

Withdraw some local cash.

Yep and then the tram.

Zloty right?

Mmmhmmm.

Right we need to get some Zloty.

I'm still chewing.

Haha.

Sam completely forgot about his luggage when he saw pastries.

I was breaking change so that we have something for the metro.

Luggage gets left behind.

Bye bye suitcase.

So we're having something called Szarlotka and I'm not sure what it is.

It kind of looks like a it kind of looks like apple.

Yeah, we basically just ordered this because we need some smaller change.

Mmmm.

For our tram tickets.

Oh yeah.

This is just an excuse to eat sugar.

This is like almost tastes kind of like delicious apple pie.

Wait until you try it.

You've gotta try this too.

Alright, sharing is caring so your turn.

It smells like a cross between an apple pie and apple strudel with lots of cinnamon.

It really is just kind of like that.

What do you think?

Isn't that nice.

It is pretty good.

Man, that is good.

I've gotta say.

Man, that is good.

To get us to the AirBNB.

And?

We made it.

We are on the 5th floor.

Actually it took us a while to get here because we had been sent instructions and the two

trams we were told to take.

Yeah.

One of them wasn't running at this time.

Okay.

And the other one they had blocked off the street.

I guess there was a parade or something.

So we'll explain this really carefully.

Under the tunnel we were supposed to catch number 19.

It didn't exist on either side so then we went way through a mall to another side and

then there was construction on the number 10.

Long story short.

We walked around for almost an hour with all of our luggage.

Where is the tram?

But we're here.

We made it to the apartment.

It is really cool.

Like it is so cool.

We haven't even checked it out but like this is our kitchen.

Yeah.

Woah.

Like we're going to have to do a proper apartment tour once we have a bit more time.

Yeah, and we will do this.

We are going to do it tomorrow.

We are not going to procrastinate like last time.

And anyways I think we're going to pop open a bottle of wine.

We'll probably say goodbye to you a little bit later on.

So we just finished doing groceries here in town but Sam brought a little something from

Budapest.

Yes.

So we had a little bit of extra Forint.

So I went and got my favorite cheap wine in Budapest.

And that is the Egri Bikaver.

The red bull's blood.

And I have to say this was an awesome idea because when we were at the grocery store

man they had an awesome selection here in Poland.

Here in Krakow they have an awesome selection of beer and vodka but wine is not so plentiful

and is quite a bit more expensive so this was a good thing to bring along since we wanted

to have a glass of wine.

But yeah, I'm going to be enjoying the vodka and beer here in Poland.

Oh, let's get ready.

I'm so tired.

It has been such a long day oh my goodness.

What time did we get up?

I feel like we had to get up early?

No, we just woke up really early because we were jetlagged.

We were still getting over the jetlag from Kyrgyzstan.

We were up at 4:30.

Yeah.

Yeah, long day.

Anyways, we've got wine in hand.

We've got great adventures in Krakow so expect food reviews and a city guide and an apartment

tour coming soon.

Urgh.

Ciao from Krakow.

I Can See Thestrals Now. A Celebration of a Life of Love. - Duration: 3:46.

Hi.

It's July 31st and fandom is celebrating the birthday of Harry Potter and JK Rowling.

But I'm remembering the birth and life of someone who had this day long before either

of them.

My father.

For those of you following my videos for fan theories to Fantastic Beasts, this is not

one of them.

I've been wanting to share this message for a long time, but it's taken me eight months

until I could talk about it.

I used to tease my dad about sharing Harry Potter's birthday.

I wish I still could.

For me, my father was the original Harry Potter, even if not by name.

Because he was a man who always knew the power of love and always spread that magic freely.

In Order of the Phoenix we read how Harry could see Thestrals following the death of

Cedric from the last book.

When Rowling explained this delay due to it taking time for death to sink in, my initial

reaction was skeptical.

But having experienced it close hand, I understand much better now.

However there's an aspect within Cedric's death that isn't talked about much, and in

reflection of my own father's passing,

I'd like to speak to it here.

Harry was right by Cedric's side when he was killed.

Harry touched his body.

Harry claimed his body.

He took his body home to his parents for burial.

I had experienced death before my father.

But not as personally.

Although I was in the hospital with my grandparents when each one died, I was in a waiting room

far away while doctors and nurses in the ICU cared for them in their final moments.

With my father, we were fortunate enough to do things differently.

We knew death was approaching, and as it was my father's wish to go home from the hospital,

we honored that request.

My father spent the last four months of his life at home, surrounded by friends and family,

cared for by those he loved most.

Until the very last breath.

We would not have been able to do this without the excellent care and support provided to

us by Palliative Care and Hospice.

Hospice staff are loving, caring professionals and volunteers who face Thestrals every single

day.

They do this so that your loved one can make their final journey from a comforting place

of love and safety.

Death is perhaps the greatest binder of humanity.

We all face it.

We all experience it of those we love.

Seeing Thestrals is a beautiful metaphor for the change in life that death brings.

Although not always possible, how fortunate are those who can meet it by the side of those

we hold most dear.

So I dedicate this video to the man who taught me throughout his life, even unto death, the

magic of love, and to the people who helped me and my family give him the love and support

he needed into his next great adventure.

Jo once said that Harry's story would not have been the same if she'd not experienced

her mother's death.

So I think it fitting on her and Harry's birthday, as well as my dad's, to remember

those who ride fearlessly upon Thestrals, guiding others into the beauty of love's

final gift.
