8/24/2008 5:26:17 PM | My father is 92, and has cancer, he was given by the Dr's three weeks, four at the most left to live, that was nine weeks ago. My every waking moment is spent with him along with my brother. The photos of your Father so inspired me to try and make a journal along similar lines as your own. I managed but a few, it was then, that I really saw my Father and how tired and weary he looked. I could not bare to take any more photos of him at the time, as I became too emotional.. I shall endeavor to try again. Jaqui |

8/29/2008 2:46:45 PM | This is Very Very moving to me.. My father is 90 years of age - he still has most of his factualities, but can not walk. I take him to the doctor and on a few of my photographic trips, ones that would not require me to leave the car too long of a time - I just do not want him to me alone in the Jeep. I have to "load" him into the Jeep by mostly picking him up and putting him in the seat. The important thing is that we can do some things together. He sleeps most of the time.
I only wanted to say that This Moved me a ways I can only describe as heart wrenching - But it IS a good thing too.

We have just a fleeting moment to share our lives with the ones we love--let's not let the moment pass. Phillip precious work and effort made me remember of those days now gone and they live only in my mind. |

Old age is a heartbreaker, but Phillip really put a torch to his soul with this series. Such a loving work of art. A masterpiece. Thanks for sharing. |

10/6/2008 11:06:04 PM | This has touched me in a way that is so deep it is hard to explain. This was passionate and incredibly heartfelt. Some of the best photography I've ever seen. Each picture strummed a cord of my heart and played a song all to familar to someone of my age. This is a time in my life when parents become older and time becomes limited. God Bless you Phillip Toledano (and your family). This belongs in a museum for all the world to see. Cindy |

My mother is very ill with emphysema, heart trouble, pneumonia, and has gotten very weak-her greatest fear has been going slowly, and suffering in the process.
Thank you so much for this site, it has given me the strength and grace to stand by her side hopefully for as long as GOD will allow.

I so badly wanted to take photos of her, but didn't want to upset her since she was dying. Be very proud that you were able to document your father in such an incredible fashion. Your work is amazing. |

He passed away in 1996. I miss them both immensely and each day has a different void for me.
Thank you so much for bringing them back to me and letting me embrace them one more time.
Your photos are outstandingly haunting and rich with emotion. You sir, "paint" with your lens.

5/10/2009 5:03:46 AM | As I read the poignant account of your love, and tender care you showered on your father, I couldn’t help tell myself that it isn’t true what they say about the world we are living in. It isn’t all that selfish and unkind. Your account and top-notch photographic record of your father’s atrophying health is a clear manifestation of a child’s love and devotion towards those two special people in his life who by their act of love brought him into this world. Philip, you should be proud of what you did to your father, and I am sure that he would have done the same and even more if things were opposite. All the best in life mate, and I am sure that both of your parents are proudly looking at you from atop the Eiffel Tower. One last word in which to congratulate you on the way you portrayed your devotion photographically. It’s a masterpiece. |

I envy what you've experienced in the time you spent with your father. Thank you so much for sharing this with the world! I am so glad i stumbled upon it.
