Man's Christmas Tradition To Remember Mom In Heaven

Man's Christmas Tradition To Remember Mom In Heaven

This man has a special way to remember his Mom in heaven each Christmas and it’s absolutely touching. Phil Beastall created this video, titled ‘Love Is A Gift,’ in 2014.


In the film, a young man counts down the days until Christmas. When the day finally arrives, he sits down at his table and takes out a cassette player. Then, he pops in a tape and smiles when he hears his mother’s voice begin to play. The man lost his mother years earlier, but she left tapes for him to listen to each year on Christmas. You can see the tears in his eyes as he realizes that this tape will be the very last one.

The filmmaker hoped this video would bring attention to the loneliness that can be felt during the holidays. The Christmas season can be especially difficult if you are missing a lost loved one and it’s so important for us to reach out to our friends who may still be grieving. Even though this film was created a few years ago, it became a viral sensation when Beastall posted it on his Facebook page.

This powerful video is such an important reminder that during the tough times, we can find comfort in the Lord. He is truly our strength when we are weak and the light that will always guide us home.

Revelation 21:4 ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.’
