A Concert for One

The Mormon Tabernacle Choir was on tour in Memphis , Tennessee in
2007. A little girl had been admitted to St . Jude's Hospital
with an aggressive form of brain cancer. Her chemo treatment made it so
she shouldn't be in crowds and couldn't attend the Mormon Choir's concert the night before. Somehow her family sent a request asking that, maybe, some of the choir members could
meet the young girl at a hotel lobby.

This is what happened when the family, still distraught with their daughter's
cancer, walked into the lobby!

Thank God for the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and their dedication.

Refreshing to see what people can do for people.
This child will have a special memory as will her parents.

Oh we can't have good news like this being reported.It's not sensational enough to sell any advertising. Sad but true. (/sarcasm)

I'm 61, 6'2" and 275 pounds. I have had my daughter tell me I have intimidated some of her boyfriends. I, too, have cancer.

This video brought tears to my eyes. Thanks for the link. It has uplifted my day.
