Have any of you been watching the tryouts for American Idol? I normally don't watch this portion of the show because, unlike most of the country, I cannot stand when they show the people who obviously can't sing. I don't think it's funny. I don't think it's cute and it seems so contrived so when I do watch the tryouts I fast-forward through all of the nonsense and then just watch the people who can actually sing.
Last night there was a guy on that had me bawling. I don't mean a few tears. I mean bawling. His story was so sad on so many levels.
While watching it, I not only was sad for his fiancee but just sad at the hope of the future for them as a couple. This guy is in his early '20's but will more than likely never experience the type of relationship that I experience with my husband. They will never have the intimacy, the children, the day-to-day good times that most couples their age will get to experience.
On the other hand, what a testament to what love is supposed to be. For better or for worse. For richer or for poorer. In sickness and in health.

Eric and I were both bawling!! It was an amazingly touching story about true love and the strength you can have because of love. SO AMAZING!!
ReplyDeleteI don't watch the show, but someone showed me that this morning. I was crying too!
ReplyDeleteI cried too! Such a heartbreaking, and insperational story at the same time. I posted about this on my blog today too.
ReplyDeleteI never miss American Idol. I love it! I did watch that couple's story and I sobbed. I cannot imagine. It is a great testament to what true love is but gosh it is too sad. I was so glad he could actually sing and made it through.
ReplyDeleteI just watched last night and all I could think was how most guys would have moved on once they knew how serious her condition was. He is truely a very great kid to stick with her like he has.
