She was on the morning show singing from her living room. And, they had Patti Lupone (the originator voice of the song) speaking to her via satellite--Patti said she cried when she and her husband watched the program when it aired. Last night, she was on the evening programs and I looked around at my husband whose eyes were totally moist with tears. Apparently, she's somewhat learning disabled, the youngest of 9 children and spent the last few years taking care of her ailing mother who passed about a year ago. Folks from her town in Scotland just rave about her!
Very dear, indeed. |

Yes, Jonni. I was reading an interview with her. When she was being born, she was deprived of oxygen and it was an emergency C-Section. She was horribly teased in public school and turned to music as her solace. One of the articles says she has already been contacted with a recording deal! How wonderful is that?
I would love to meet her! She seems so spunky and funny!

Poor, sweet, wonderful dear! I guess she's showed all those folks who teased her then, hasn't she. When I was a child and wondered about people with special needs, my mother told me that people with special needs were given certain gifts and talents by God to bless them in other ways. I certainly think that's true in many cases.
She does seem spunky....as Pattie Lupone told her this morning, "You got PLUCK, girl!" |

| I just saw Susan on Fox News Channel. They said her performance has had 12 mil hits on the internet. Don't you just want to be her best friend? |

I think these things happen as a lesson to everyone to lose our preconceived ideas and assumptions. I believe that we as society are finally beginning to wake up again to the fact that all people have value. I too cried when I first saw the story on the evening news. I hope she finds her prince charming and has a great career but not to show those who treated her poorly. She's already taught the lesson, but to just get to enjoy the blessings and adulation her gift will bring to her. Sometimes it's difficult in the face of such criticism to know your worth but in her case she shines. A good lesson to all indeed.

I cried too. I have heard the song many many times before, but seeing her (and hearing ofcourse) made me cry again. Reading and listening to the lyrics made me think about the dreams in my life that never came through, marriage, kiddies, a happy life etc.
I wish her all the happiness in life and maybe someday that dream of hers (and mine) will come true.
Hugs from Marian/Dutchy, a farmgirl from the Netherlands :)

I keep going back to the video. A great way to start the morning and end the day. I wish her the best and I can't wait to buy her 1st CD.
Hope all your days are Sunnydays.
