<p>Every time I see this commercial, I think of my cousin, Grant.
When he was a little boy, a photographer snapped a picture of
him walking on the wet cement and looking at the man who had
done all this hard work. Grant, a father, now is experiencing
the ultimate in patience. Over a year ago, his daughter was in a
tragic horse backriding accident that left her in a coma for
several months and she is still recovering. God bless you for
your never ending patience Grant!<br>

<p>On Patience, The video has familiarity as my mother did the
exact same thing when she was about the same age! The mason was
about the same age. I haven't laughed that hard in 20 years.<br>

<p>I am a concrete finisher and as mad as I get when someone walks
in my concrete , this really tickled me. With a child this age I
could not get upset.<br>

<p>I love this video because instead of the man getting upset or
mad at the boy he simply lifted him off and started again. If he
he would have got mad at him he would of hurt his feelings.<br>

<p>I work with children and this portrays truly how much patience
you need, because they simply don't know better. Makes me smile.<br>

at the same time. I couldn't stop laughing when I first saw this
commercial.<br>

<p>I love seeing these commercials, they are so inspirational in a
time when commercials are often so shallow and dull. It reminds
me of all the small things people do for each other that go
unnoticed.<br>

<p>I've been watching your clips on TV and had to go to your
website. These pieces are moving and poignant. They are
remarkably timely and impressive for a nation which needs
reminding of the values and integrity, which are sorely in need
of cultivating.<br>

<p>Wet Cement - this has to be the best stress reliever in the
world. Those little wonky footsteps and then when the little boy
says "Hi" - well, my heart just melts and then I just chuckle
with such joy. The actual commercial on tv is somewhat different
than the web site and it is equally as beautiful! <br>
