what a remarkable little boy, I am here with tears flowing freely , thankyou for sharing this with us
Good story. I'd heard about it, but not seen the video. Thanks for posting that.
Darn - I cant watch it ! Do they have something against us Southerners?
<3
lovely xx
Thank you for this post....this little boy is wonderful and this story has to have touched many hearts.....
What a heart warming story. Thanks Billie.
That's a tear jerker...
Inspiring in lots of ways. Shows you how children are impressed by their parents. Puts a lot of pressure on parents to do and say the right things. He wouldn't have been the kid he is if his Dad had been an inmate at a prison.
Thanks for the inspiration.
Hugs
