Crap! "Nightline" just made me cry!

[SeattleGirl]

They are doing a story on adults with autism, and featured a young woman who has difficulty talking, but who took part in a fundraiser for a place for autistic adults. She sang "Wind Beneath My Wings" and while she was offkey, the audience was crying, and then I started crying. I'm such a softie for these kinds of stories. :cry:

1. Me too... I'm glad I was watching Dave Attel in Las Vegas

[KitchenWitch]

2. As snarky as I am, I can't watch those kinds of stories

I am, at heart, a huge sap.

3. me too.

6. I'm STILL crying.

For heaven sake! :cry:

4. I guessed that, Kitchy.

This caught me totally off guard!

5. I am also a soft touch for this sort of thing......

I NEVER go anywhere without my pocket pack of Kleenex!

7. Oh wow

That sounds incredible; I'd love to hear that..

[SeattleGirl]

9. It was, and it was so sweet!

Maybe the ABC/Nightline website will have a link to it.

10. I'd put it on my show

I'm going to go see if I can get it there..

[SeattleGirl]

11. That would be wonderful

In the context of the story, the "not quite on tune" part was perfect. I don't think I will ever hear that song again without thinking about this young woman. :cry:
