In 2014, our youngest daughter attended her cousin’s wedding and broke down weeping during the father/daughter dance, lamenting, “Because of Parkinson’s, I’ll never be able to dance with my Dad at my wedding.” Friends and family attempted to co...nsole her to no avail. But with time, and a combination of both fierce determination and creative problem solving, Tessa proved that to not be the case. Hiring a wheelchair choreographer, she, her Dad, John, and the instructor practiced faithfully together for 6 months. The result? A most memorable dance that left not a dry eye amongst the wedding guests. Prior to the wedding, Tessa and her fiancé, Nick, made an important decision. Instead of going on a honeymoon, they chose to use the money saved to hire a videographer to film the wedding and, in particular, the father/daughter dance. When the Academy of Neurology called for video submissions later that year, documenting people living well with a neurological disorder, Tessa was quick to submit the dance video entitled, “Living with Parkinson’s. My Father Daughter Dance”, which is viewable on YouTube. The videographer hired was none other than Michael Cerundolo of Focused Bliss Productions. Without question, hiring Michael was the best decision ever made. The pleasure and delight my family and, in particular, my husband and I experienced every time we watched the video was worth the cost, delayed honeymoon, and so much more. John passed away last year, and we just held his Celebration of Life. Did we hire Focused Bliss? Absolutely, and we can’t wait to see the finished product, relive the special moments, and share them with those unable to attend. From the bottom of my heart, thank you, Michael for filling ours!!! ♥️
