ZERO dislikes! That is unheard of on YouTube. It seems like there is always some jerk that dislikes things just to be contrary to everyone else.
I only hope that this song reaches everyone that really needs to hear it. This story is the epitome of someone seeing the good in something that everyone else would see as a burden. God Bless Collin Raye.
My nephew Caine was born with Angelman Syndrome so didn't get chance to learn to walk or talk,and was tube fed.He had lots of other problems too&spent so much time in hospital,including life support 3 times but was always laughing..Caine had an amazing smile!Caine grew tired after one fight too many&eventually went to sleep 8/7/2008(2wks before his 7th birthday).Thank You Collin for this song,it is beautiful and so fitting.God Bless all our Angels,until we meet again xxxx

Dear Collin, I could have told you a long time ago that when your time comes to be at Heaven's pearly gates, there will be no doubt that you will be allowed in and yes, Haley will be waiting, will tell God "He's with me" and the Lord will just say "Of course he is". God only takes the best and take what comfort you can knowing that. I was 36 when I lost my dad and that was over 14 years ago. I still miss him terribly. I'll never understand why He sometimes takes our children first though. Kathy
Great Song!! I was told about this song from someone who also has a special Angel, her name is Karley. She has several things that cause her to be alot like Haley, almost Identical. Even tho I no longer get to see her, she stays with me in my heart and prayers. I feel lucky to have gotten to spend the time I got with her. I still keep faith God hears all our prayers for all children. I try to think that God gives us these truly blessed children to help US in our life. Think how lucky we are.
This was like it was written just for my sweet daughter, Emily. Emily died 4 years ago at age 27 from complications of Rett Syndrome. Her Dad and I only hope that she will stand next to us in heaven one day and say, "they're with me". Thank you for this gift in song, Collin.
Condolences to the Raye Family. My disabled 18 yr old daughter passed away a month ago so this song gave me great peace. I will love to hold you again my sweet Kayla, you were such a special gift
I am brought to my knees every time I hear this song, and I can't imagine how he keeps his composure through it.
His Facebook page reported today that Haley has died. :( I heard it today and cried, but I'm so glad she's never going to suffer again. God bless Haley, Collin, and the Raye family.
We have a grandson who has severe autism. I can fully understand the feelings Colin had when he wrote this song. Our grandson is truly a blessing to us...a special needs child is a challenge, but also a wonderful gift to a family. Of course we pray for his continued improvement, but thank God for him daily.
I was so touched by this song that I cried. I lost a son with a rare nuerological disease and 6 weeks later my daughter almost died from the same thing. She has been suffering from it for 15 years now but God has blessed me with her 6 years longer than the doctors gave her to live so far. Your Song Means more to me than any words can say. Thank you Collin Ray for writing and recording it.
I too have a granddaughter named Hailey. Hailey had TEF and passed away to become our guardian angel at age 3 last August. We sure hope she will stand up for us and say "they're with me!" god Bless you, your family and precious, celestial little Hailey.
This song really hits home for me my son was diagnosed with a rare gentic disorder called NBIA he also started showing problems at two and just got worse he is now eight he can no longer walk or talk has a g-tube since he can no longer eat he can hardly move it is the worse felling in the world to know u cant help ur child and that something is eventually going to take him before his time but withthat said he is our saving grace and life Brody Starkeys mom Loni Head
God bless you and your son. My Grand-daugther Lauran Kelsee was diagnosed at 6 months with cdm not unlike cp. She doesn't walk, talk, crawl, or sit up alone. She will be 10 in June and she is like a 4 to 6 month old. Having said that , this song hit me hard because she is my life! I was destined to be with her. When I look into her face and she smiles that big wonderful smile, it makes my life worth living. My son has sole custody of her and her brother Logan 13. We love her so much. Sherry / tn
im a 35 year old guy who has never been touched this much since my wee girl was born,,makes you realise how blessed we are to have children and how much you just wanna wrap your arms around and never let go..god bless you collin
Thank you for this song! I have a 9 yr old silent angel with Rett Syndrome named McKenna. She wasn't diagnosed until she was 5 yrs old. It is difficult to see our little girls regress without knowing why and feeling helpless because we can't stop it or help them. These silent little girls are such a blessing and we are blessed to be a part of their lives. Thank you for putting into words what is in our hearts.
I used to follow country music back in the 90's and Collin was always one of my favorites. I read up on him recently, seems he hasnt charted since around 2000. Who knows if its the winds of change in music, but this song clearly shows that Collin is better than ever.
@tscotwv - Thanks for the comment. Colin is very talented. He still has it. The album is fantastic. If you like his stuff from the 90s you will really love this new album.
This video has been posted in the RETT SYNDROME COMMUNITY all day long. Rett Syndrome is a regressive neurological condition that affects girls. Usually about 2 years old. If anyone knows him please suggest this. Not knowing is the hardest part and knowing gives you many more options. God Bless
I believe the condition Colin's granddaughter has is called Retts Syndrome. The baby is usually progressing as normal then one day all stops and the child will regress.
I have had the blessing to take care of a few young ladies with this and they are true silent angels!
I also Have a Daughter named Hailey Grace who has severe CP. This song cutts straight to the heart. Colin says everything of how I feel. I left a career of 18 yrs to take care and homeschool Hailey Grace. I wouldnt trade any of . The best decision I ever made. Visit my youtube page to see my baby. Thanks Colin , Im on my way to get this cd.
