As a parent I feel I have an awesome responsibility to encourage my children and build up their dreams in them as much as I possibly can. To this end, my husband and I are always finding motivational and inspirational things to show the boys so they can see that anything is possible if you never give up and keep on believing in your dream. Right now, Ethan's dream is to play NFL football...with the Green Bay Packers (don't gag on your coffee this morning, Becks!) and, well, while it might not be the most realistic of dreams, if it's something he wants I am 110% behind him. But he is also learning just how hard you have to for work it. (Just ask him about his first practice as quarterback and he'll tell you!)
So when I came across this clip from Britain's Got Talent (another Simon Cowell program) on Kirsty Wiseman's blog yesterday, I immediately called Ethan and my husband in my office to watch it. I was moved to tears because THIS was someone who never gave up and because of that was finally seeing her dream realized....after she had it in her heart to do since she was 12. She's now 47.

oh thanks for sharing that link ...This so reminds me of Paul Potts..who was also on Britain's got Talent...another heartwarming story, you might want to check him out on You tube as well Kelly, if Susan brought tears to your eyes, Paul Potts will definitely too...have a wonderful Tuesday!
WOW that was amazing
Thanks for the good cry this morning. My son has raced in Quarter Midgets, Legend Cars, Stock Cars and has always wanted to be a NASCAR Driver. He does have the talent only problem is money has crushed his dreams. I have prayed every night that someone would knock on our door and sponsor his dream. It is tough we too have told our boys to believe in your dreams and part of me is on the fence. It is in Gods hands now. Thanks for helping me believe again. Have a great day.

I love stories like this. I loved how she held her head high, and kept smiling and being positive, despite the ridicule from the audience before she sang...
Loved it (and she is my age!)...
