Love

There was a 64 year old man on American Idol today. He was auditioning. He petitioned to get on the show, it was a joint effort by him and his wife, who had cancer. When he talked about her, he lit up, and it was just so beautiful. But unfortunately, she died two days before the audition.

And then he sang. He sang 'You belong to me'. And this was the type of song that you slow dance to with the person that you love. Like that scene in the Notebook, when she is lucid for awhile and they dance. And it was the most beautiful thing I had ever heard. You could hear the love and how he remembers her as he sings. He was literally singing from his heart. He not only sang the song but he managed to convey the feelings that this song evoked in him and how much he loved his wife.
