What a great man Lou was . Am glad to have known and greatly honoured to be trained by him and to call “mentor “ . He’s greatly missed and “may His memory be eternal “ . He’ll be always remembered as a role model , great father, superb surgeon and scientist and a kind beautiful person with unmatched humanity except for Saints .

I just finished watching this documentary. I live in Indio, California. I walked my first Camino, and my only one, in 2018; just a few days after having retired from teaching. It had been my desire since 1995, when I first read the book about EL CAMINO by Shirley McClain. I also walked El Camino out of gratitude, just like your dad. I love the story that you shared with us in this documentary. Coincidentally, I met a retired surgeon from Toluca, Mexico. I found many parallels between your dad and this retired surgeon that I just met yesterday. Having finished the documentary, I called this doctor, his name is EFRAIN, and I shared the link. The story that you shared with us is a beautiful one, your father seemed to have been ready and willing to finish his days on this earth. God had better plans for him and allow him to finish, "his camino" and go home to tell about it. El Camino doesn't have to be the whole distance, El Camino is what it is for each one of us. I am glad that you and your brother were able to walk and have this experience with your dad. I am sure, that that will be the one memory that you will hold as the most dear in your heart forever. What a beautiful way to culminate a life of service and goodness like the one that your father lived. You have done good in documenting this experience. Your documentary is beautiful. Without any doubt, your father is happily resting and smiling, and enjoying the fruits and the favors God had had waiting for him. God bless you and your whole family. Respectfully, Jose Rios Aug 2, 2023

On August 4, 2023, This Very Certain Call came to me, telling me to go back for my Camino Francés Experience #2. Now (November 28, 2023), I am sure that this video had a great deal to do with my acceptance to go and live EL CAMINO again. My son, my wife and I will be leaving to El Camino on or around the 27 of June, 2024. All this, with God's approval and help. Blessings!

Well done, When I was cycling round Spain I did the pilgramage route, there was loads of people skipping out bits. The people you meet along the way is worth the trip alone.

Wow! Loved the story. It has so many layers… you could make a film for sure. What a wonderful experience to walk with your father. He found his miracle, and Ian his health. Your father is in heaven now, with that strong faith, there was no other way.

I have a question Gino, did your father lived to see Ian walk? I’m not sure if the picture at the end of both of them is real or a montage. I read in the comments that he has passed away. I certainly hope that he lived long enough to see Ian walk. And think about it, this is a powerful story of a man of faith and science that found his miracle. And 2 sons that I am sure found themselves. I bet you have a lot more footage than what you present. It is a beautiful love letter to your father, he is, I’m sure very moved and proud of you. Congrats! I’ve been sharing it and I will think about it when I walk in October. I have my own miracle to ask, this story gives me hope.

@GinoDelG 11 ай бұрын

Yes, my father died when his grandson, Ian, was about 12. Ian adored my father and my father adored him. Ian was and still is able to walk very well without assistance. Good luck on your journey and I hope you find your miracle. God bless.

I’m watching this again after doing the Camino myself. It makes a lot more sense. I got sick, started booking hotels, took a couple of taxis when I was feeling that could not keep walking and made it to Santiago. Once in Santiago I cried rivers asking for mercy, and for a miracle. I am moved to tears by your dad’s story and thank you for this wonderful film.

Un auténtico despropósito recorrer el Camino por GALICIA con música flamenca andaluza de fondo. Galicia es un país con cultura e idioma propio que no es Andalucía. Estamos en el Estado español, pero somos Comunidades muy diferentes desde el punto de vista cultural.
