BEAUTIFUL SONG, BEAUTIFUL CHILD. My sister is a special education teacher in Mobile, Alabama. She tells me she loves her job but she gets sad a lot because of what her kids go through. I have often wondered why she would choose this field in teaching if it hurts her so bad. She gets excited when one of her kids does something so simple. I dont think I really understood her passion until now. Thank you for helping me see what she see's. I believe that your presious Sophia is GOD's special angel put here to tell the real story of Autism. My sister says I must see the kids with my heart not my eyes. Thank you Sophia for helping me see with my heart. You are truely an "angel" from heavan to me. I will spread your message and know that sooo many more people will see that you are heavan sent with a special message. SEE WITH HEART!! Sincerely, Kelli

I just want to say thank you for sharing your beautiful song and family. I have a son that was diagnosed a year ago and we've had lots of ups and downs. Whenever I'm feeling at a low point with his progress, I come back to your video and it 1)always makes me cry 2)it reminds me to be greatful that we are blessed with our son as he has taught us so much about ourselves 3)it gives me strength to keep fighting for him. I wish you and your family the best...take care.

The song is beautiful. May God Bless your family and your precious daughter. I do not have a child with autism but I did work with several children with autism. I am now doing research in the field, and just want you to know there are people that do care.

What a moving song - What a loving mother! Tears are streaming down my face after watching this video. Sophia will be in my prayers from this night on. Miracles do happen every day. Stay strong and see her receiving the miracle in your mind every day. When you have a chance, visit this website -- www.padrepio.com -He just became a saint and continues to grant miracles even after his death. Saint Pio bore the wounds of Jesus for 50 years. He granted me a miracle. Have faith and may God bless you and your wonderful family!

My 4 year old son's godfather Robert sent me this link. Apparently, he knows you. I have purchased your song at Sophia's Friends in Clinton Twp. a couple of weeks ago. It's very touching and I have since passed the word along. Good luck to you and your family and thanks for making a difference.

I love your song and video I watch it everyday just to hear your song! How can I get the song? It reminds me of my two children Chance and Wyatt. Every articulation no matter how small is a big deal! Through early intervention Chance is able to somewhat express herself to us. Yes, she jargon's alot still and fills in the gaps with real words most of the time but she has made so much progress. I pray for your whole family. My email address is rhunt3@socal.rr.com. Please send your song if you could. Thank you.

You are truly blessed as parents of such a beautiful girl, or should I say girls. I have an austistic son who is nearly 10 now and times are getting harder. The one thing I always remember, which I got from something I read, was that those parents of such beautiful and special children are truly blessed, God gave us these children, as he knew we were the right ones for them and knew we could handle it. I believe we as parents are blessed, for others do not know what they are missing out on, even through all the bad times, the good weighs out, their love, their innocence and their never-ending smiles. We are lucky that our son loves his cuddles, and get heaps of them everyday, not matter how big he gets, and he is such an emotional little boy. He watched this video in bed with us and was truly touched, he knows he is autistic, but it is a word to him. Your song & video is so beautiful, I would buy it if it was available. I have watched it a numerous times today and have put a shortcut on my desktop, so I can watch it at least twice a day, when I wake and before I sleep. You are so talented to write such a beautiful song. You and your wife are beautiful people, and from your song & video I can see you have fully embraced the blessing God gave you in your daughter. GOD BLESS YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TO SOPHIA'S DAD: There is ALWAYS hope. You have been so richly blessed. Your musical talent can help spread awareness for autism, so that children (who grow into adults) will be more socially accepted & understood. All that you are learning in the process of caring for Sophia is helping you to become the man that our Heavenly Father sent you to earth to become. Your positive & cheerful attitude will be a strength to your whole family. Stick together, work through the difficult times, always be the gentleman that your beautiful wife needs you to be, pray A LOT, and COUNT YOUR MANY BLESSINGS! Carry on, carry on, carry on!!!

I cried so hard seeing this precious video, my 4 and 5 year old grandaughters keep asking me to play this video over and over. To see their little eyes and compassionate hearts moved me to see just how young bringing awareness through a special video can touch even the youngest of hearts. Young children today are quick to learn the importance of acceptance and Inclusion. Thank you and your family for this special song and video. And another HUGE Thank you for such a quick responce on sharing your email so we can contact you. My daughter now 22 she to has Autism and is the first to have gone to this school to be the first to Graduate from it with Autisum and special needs. This song will be apart of that History and memory.
