Thank you rawhide SO much for posting this.

I watched the video, purchased the beautiful song on iTunes, and am busily cleaning my video monitor because it seems to have gone all blurry (and apparently I'm not the only one whose monitor was similarly afflicted *sniff*).

What a heartwarming story. My day, and days to come, are changed by this... a lot of things I thought were really important have sorta diminished in criticality... taking a few minutes for this story has helped put things in better perspective.

Thanks again!!

Beautiful.

I would also say big kudos to Jacob Colgan and his company Green Shoe Studio for bringing Fred’s heartfelt words to music.

Anyone here with a great wife can empathize

I literally pray to go first cause I would fear life without her more

I just gave the link to a reporter for WSJ and asked if a story could be done on it.

It it makes it into WSJ it could attract millions of listeners and potential buyers. Fred may be a rich man for his touching song!
