God Bless You Choi Sung-bong!

A friend shared a link today of this young man who stirred my heart not only with his singing, his life story as a young boy and what he has become now is truly remarkable and touching.  I played the clip over and over again and I couldn't help getting teary-eyed.  I wish I could help him carry his burdens especially when he was so very young.  I do want to give him a hug...

It's amazing that after all the difficulties he went through in his life, and at a very young age, he never gave up.  He survived the odds and he had the courage to follow his dream.  No matter how harsh his growing-up years may be, he doesn't seem to have turned into a cold-hearted and angry person.  In fact, he is polite, soft-spoken, passionate about his dream and humble.  I can't help but smile when he says he doesn't sing well.  :)

People like him make us realize how truly petty our complaints are.  How lucky we are that we never had to go through what he had been through, some people might even be going through much worse.  Let us all count our blessings for we do have many, we just do not realize it sometimes.

Choi Sung-bong, I wish you luck and may your life be blessed with the love and happiness you deserve.  God bless you!
