this is very emotional but I like how he embraces his mom so all of these hard rappers who think it too feminine to be around there mom or respecting females youre missing out
What is he, six years old? And the first thing she says is "Don't disappoint me." He wouldn't have been homeless if she hadn't kicked him out, and I guarantee she had perfectly valid reasons for doing so. She's probably thinking "how's he going to fuck up this time?" Hate to burst anybody's bubble, but that's what wasn't said.
Dear Ted, Just to let you know that thousands of people are praying for you. Please spend time daily in the Word of God, for the Holy Spirit will lead you into all truth. We pray for God's peace and joy to radiate from Jesus into your life and out to others.
Down with the paparazzi who do not respect such a extremely Private & Emotionally Situation. I hope that Ted W. looks up to their filthy living principles in the future!
It is beautiful to see that even people down in there luck in America can work there way up to the top and be as spirited and enthusiastic as this gentalman, Hats off to you Mr. Wlliams may it last as long as you whant it to,but you must have the will! :)
i just found out about this guy maybe a week ago but damnit....when he walks in, a 53 yr old man, walking toward his mother saying "hi mommy, hi mommy, hi mommy..."
So far this story has been all peachy and what-not, but let's not get crazy here, folks. The story isn't over. It's pretty amazing how this has all come about, but let's let it play out before we all start crying. Something about this seems a bit contrived, and of course, the way the media has blown this up, I still think there's more to this story. I do wish the guy all the best.
@ninjabiscut To be fair for the media, this time it was kind of his savior right down to the Ohio Dispatch. Also, both Ted and his mother were pretty fearless of the media and very outspoken. They didn't seem scared or intimidated at all.
It's kind of voyeuristic, but it's nice to see some true human, personal stories.
Lo mas increible de esta historia es que nos muestra que nunca sabemos a quien estamos mirando con desden, a quien le desviamos la mirada, a quien le negamos un maldita moneda. No necesitamos convertirnos en el buen samaritano, pero si necesitamos ser mas humanos. Es verdad, es imposible ayudar a todos, pero no es verdad que a veces se nos caen monedas de los bolsillos y terminan en un estante o sobre la mesa??? Saludos desde Argentina. Feliz Año 2011 para todos y Dios los bendiga...
@REQUECHOS True... 1 week after internet met Ted I watched on TV a report abou homeless plp leaving in Portugal, and I was surprised cos some of tehm was graduated in medicine, engeneering, and stuff. Also there where some guys who had a huge talent.
@REQUECHOS The most incredible thing about this story is that it shows that we never know who we are looking at with disdain, who was looking away, who would deny a damn coin. We need not become the good Samaritan, but if we need to be more human. True, it's impossible to help everyone, but it is true that sometimes we like coins from the pockets and end up on a shelf or table?? Greetings from Argentina. Happy New Year 2011 to all and God Bless ...
The thing I like about Ted is he don't care if there's a camera, and when he says he likes mac n cheese he's actually sincere about it without having to get paid.
If there is a God why does choose to help some people that are rock bottom and not others? Not too long ago a homeless man helped a woman that was being mugged and in the process ended up getting stabbed. He ran after the man but collapsed on the floor shortly after. People walked passed him as he was bleeding to death for hours and not one person stopped to help. Not even the woman he rescued. By the time paramedics arrived he was already dead. Where was God then?
God was there and that homeless man could be in heaven now......who knows why some things happen but I believe in Him and i know he is watching over everything. Maybe God just wanted to bring him home....?
@lolocaust15 God works in mysterious ways. That man saved the woman, and God knew his good intentions. some people have horrible lives but believe in God and go to heaven for eternity. some people are douches to other people, get money and nice things their whole life and end up in hell. and some people get nice things and us it wisely.
This is a video that made think about life and there are some good people that deserve a second chance in life..... Ted Williams you are one of those people :) :) hope you live a happy life and leave that past behind...
Can't nobody tell me there isn't a God. To them that believe, recieve. Check out the 2 links below...be encouraged. If u don't know God, it's ok, it's never too late to get to know him. Test & see that he is good. He'll pass everytime. Your tough time may be your journey to see his greatness. That's why I love him l...ike I do. I've so much to share with u about what I've been thru. 2011 I'll tell it all. Toyin Adekale.

I hope he is really sincere and not just trying to con the world somehow. No way in hell is she 90. She looks alot younger but how come they both don't remember how old each other is? lol. He certainly sounds intelligent and has a very good vocabulary. I am curious what radio station he worked for years ago and if it was talk radio or what. He never mentions it specifically. It's great, he deserves a second chance!
I trust he will get good help also. Being thrust into the spotlight for someone could be too much. Hope people do not take advantage of him. Everyone should have a second chance.
@mismaxi1 Gods hand is on Ted Williams giveing him the gift of sobriety. His mother lived this long for an amazeing reunion. No man is without sin. I pray that Teds mother lives long enough to regain trust in Ted The only difference between Ted and other recovering addicts is that Ted did not have the resources to drink himself to death like many other people. So Ted was a poor addict instead of a rich one.
@JamesGod08 He probably has been so overwhelmed by all of the attention and wanted to make sure it was real before he went to his mother as I am sure she has heard it before. God let Teds Mother live long enough to regain trust in him.
@McMearty Regardless it doesnt matter once you get addicted its tough i would like to see you do what this man did. I dont think so now go fucking suck a dick.
I tear up at each of these videos.... He was like a big ole kid talking to his mom! And you can tell she instilled respect in him cuz he always responds "Yes Ma'am" even during his interviews. Oh I wish him success!!!
@McMearty It's easy to say what people shouldn't have done. It's easy to say they should've done this, or that, or the other thing... but the truth is what's done is done. There is no going back. We all make mistakes. Every day we make the wrong decisions. Some snowball into worse decisions. We can't fault the man for trying to get out of the hole he dug himself.
This is his moment to try and reclaim what little bit of his life he has left. All those wasted years may now not be for naught.
I'm a mother and I cant believe he's been away from her for 20 years....it just makes me soo happy to see him reuniting with his mother. It's wonderful seeing people give others 2nd chances. This is a beautiful story. God Bless.
What an absolutely beautiful, beautiful video. Ted is such an amazing man and I am excited to watch where his career goes. The pure joy from it made me laugh and cry! By the way she looks so good for a 90+ year old!
The video that (with over 8.7M views) made him famous and got him a job was removed by Columbus Dispatch for copyright claims [send hate emails to letters@dispatch.com]
but, Glad that he is on his way. I'm sure many others, including myself, will be looking for his first commercial on TV :)
This is just beautiful. I hope he stays in the right and do not relpase again. All is forgiven about his rap sheet because he was doing most of that to survive out there in the urban jungle. I'd probably steal too if I had no other choice.
Awww he became a kid again! How blessed is he that hs mother lived to see this day? She looks strong too! I am so full of joy. Thank you Jehovah! I wish that the media covered more stories like these...they just make you wanna do better! I will never look at another homeless person the same again! Never!
I am not tearing up, i am not about to cry, I am crying and yes i am also a full grown man. There is nothing on the face of this earth as pure and unconditional as a mother's love. Thank you god for the way you work!
what a beautiful and emotional reunion, but I really hate how they have all these cameras and everythign up in their faces making into a big publicity spectacle, I know its a big story but I think they deserved a little more privacy.
They are trying to judge the man cuz he had a rap sheet. he was desperate. and when you are down like he was, no one wants to do anything for you......
Makes it more the reason for me to do my work for God with music that i have made on my page (if you guys wanna check it out). God bless this man, and God bless to all who believe!
@monica24b i think i was because he was in bad company like addicted to drugs and what not for many years and they probably cut off from him because of that, wanting him to get better
@FikiNom That's right coming from a family of addiction to drugs & Acohol. I totally agree with you. He needed to find his own way & as a loved one it's sometimes very painful to watch but to pray & hope. You can take a person to rehab all you want but if they don't do it for themselves then youre wasting youre time. I hope he stays on track and it seems he is as his attitude is all positive, especially being sober for 2 years already while he was homeless. The way he said it's all behind me
@monica24b We have to pray that Teds mother lives long enough to regain her trust in him. I am sure his entire family has been through a lot of pain and now may the healing begin.
The most compelling thing about this video is the fact that Ted and his mother are so completely oblivious to the vulturesqe media around them and are still able to pour their hearts out and catch up after 20 years of being apart. The power of love, prayer (positive thinking for you atheists out there) and forgiveness has never been so profoundly displayed.
@thelethaface This is a video that made think about life and there are some good people that deserve a second chance in life..... Ted Williams you are one of those people :) :) hope you live a happy life and leave that past behind..

what a beautiful and emotional reunion, but I really hate how they have all these cameras and everythign up in their faces making into a big publicity spectacle, I know its a big story but I think they deserved a little more privacy.

They are trying to judge the man cuz he had a rap sheet. he was desperate. and when you are down like he was, no one wants to do anything for you......

This was amazing. When he saw his mom, it was like he was a kid again.

wow, even his mom was unsupportive. It's crazy how people just dramatically change and start treating you nice when you get famous.

@monica24b i think i was because he was in bad company like addicted to drugs and what not for many years and they probably cut off from him because of that, wanting him to get better

@monica24b You cant just assume that about people you do not know. Maybe they had to cut him off for him to find his way. Obviously it worked.

@FikiNom That's right coming from a family of addiction to drugs & Acohol. I totally agree with you. He needed to find his own way & as a loved one it's sometimes very painful to watch but to pray & hope. You can take a person to rehab all you want but if they don't do it for themselves then youre wasting youre time. I hope he stays on track and it seems he is as his attitude is all positive, especially being sober for 2 years already while he was homeless. The way he said it's all behind me

@monica24b We have to pray that Teds mother lives long enough to regain her trust in him. I am sure his entire family has been through a lot of pain and now may the healing begin.

So touching to see a 53 years old grown up man talking to his mommy as if he was still her little boy. Mommy = unconditional love.

I thought he would just get some remix and get money or something like the bed intruder song. But he got a whole lot more. He is one lucky man.

The power of prayer and a sons love for his mother and hers for him are so genuine and real in this video.

The most compelling thing about this video is the fact that Ted and his mother are so completely oblivious to the vulturesqe media around them and are still able to pour their hearts out and catch up after 20 years of being apart. The power of love, prayer (positive thinking for you atheists out there) and forgiveness has never been so profoundly displayed.
