Just wow....
I couldn’t agree with your words more. I was humbled in a major way, so many couples around us are getting divorced, this year is my wife and I’s 20th year anniversary. This guy didn’t even get married and he is sticking by his gal. He’s going to have a huge cheering section.

Happens every once in a while...rarely actually. Nice, Thanks for posting.
awesome , just awesome......I’m a 55 yr old man who can bust a golf ball 260 yds off the tee and my eyes went water works in about 5 seconds
Thanks;) I needed that - (now crying those tears that make me believe the World is gonna be OK as long as there are young men like Chris Medina to take care of our daughters and sisters).
Love Steven Tyler too - that is one positive, decent guy who maintains his humor and humility.
It is a struggle for me. The older I get, the more judgemental I get about things like people’s appearance, tattoos, clothing, long hair, piercings...
Sigh.
It is an internal battle...but definitely couldn’t argue here.

I have friends who experienced something similarly tragic, but the Lord in His faithfulness carried them through it and made a way for them. My girlfriend survived what should have been a fatal accident 10 years ago. Their 1-year-old baby was in the back car seat when it happened. When the paramedics arrived on the scene, from the appearance of the completely crushed vehicle, they assumed there weren't any survivors until they jawed of life them out of the vehicle. The baby was completely unscathed, a COMPLETE miracle! But my girlfriend hung on within an inch of her life and was completely incapacitated for a number of years.
Her husband carried the weight of a full time job, a small baby and a hospitalized wife for over a year. He had to rely on the help of friends and family to get them through it all. They persevered together and through it, came to know the Lord because of the accident. They met the paramedic who had saved her life at the scene of the accident at the church they started to attend a few years later, which is the same church he had attended for years. The paramedic shared the story of how he privately prayed over the mother of the baby in the back seat that day. Pleading the Lord would spare her life. He told them he had often wondered what happened to that woman. And here they were meeting at church years later. Another miracle! The Lord has been their stronghold and deliverer and they rely on Him in ways most of us will never comprehend.
The good news is, that after doctors said she would never walk again and at one time thought she would be nothing more than in a vegetative state. She took her FIRST steps in rehabilitative therapy a year ago. She is now on a walker and out of her wheelchair which everyone thought would be part of her anatomy the rest of her life.
I'll be praying for Chris and his lovely fiance. Love conquers and they are an inspiration to us all. He should be labeled American Hero because he truly has a heart of gold.
Wow, your story had me nearly breaking down all over again, wonderful story, God bless them and you ...

I'm definitely going to be keeping up with Chris’ story now. He seems very talented and I hope he goes far.
(I'm also going to email it to my girlfriend and her family. Her son is now 11. I'm sure it will be a real blessing and inspiration to them as well.)

Just curious...

Well, I’m not sure honestly, I can tell you by reading the comments on the YouTube video itself they are overwhelming with people crying and deeply moved. There were 18 dislikes on the video, perhaps they were dem’s (he he, just kidding).
