Mattie you've proven so much to me and now I know what peace is.... I've realized what to take out of you and your lessons and have walked away with so much wise and amazing knowledge! You are truly a saint!
i thank you for being an angel, and showing us back on our path to Jesus, thank you for helping me. Helping me to realize what an angel and peace really are. Thank you matte, we all thank you.
@visionquest414 I sent it to his mom, and she graciously wrote me back and told me how much she appreciated it. I wrote it because my mom asked me to! As for Oprah, feel free to forward it to her, but I don't want her to think I'm trying to profit off of Mattie, but I would like her to hear it, because he meant a good deal to her.
Mattie had more courage than alot of adults. We all need to take his words to heart. Find your heartsong!! Added this song to my favorites ,its a very touching tribute to an angel!
Wow! What a wonderful song and video! I was truly a big fan of Mattie and his work as well. In response to the questions about Mattie, He was just 3 weeks shy of his 14th birthday when he died on June 22 2004. A sad reality, but it was an amazing miracle for him to live the life he had. I am so proud of all he has achieved.
Justin, this is really beautiful. Mattie was such an amazing boy and is an inspiration to so many. I have all his Heartsongs books. Thanks for sharing this.
Wow, that was such a beautiful song! I loved it from the first line to the last note! You made me cry =( But that's a good thing I suppose, 'cause if it was a bad emotionless song, and Mattie wasn't who he was, I wouldn't have.
Mattie, hope you are enjoying heaven...

Dear Justin,
Thank youso much for this. I am a Mattie person!
Mattie is my favorite person in the whole world.
I had the honor of attending his funeral which was hugely moving and magnificent.
My friend Chris and I carried him with us when we went to the Inauguration. I could feel his joy at this exciting moment!
I write songs and sing too!
xoxoxo so glad you are "B"ing Justin!
Any friend of Mattie's is a friend of mine.
Love,
