I miss you still mattie- I love you and so do my children. You were a living angle on earth. I wonder what great things you are doing in heaven. You came here to the earth for and little whlie and when you were done with your work here you went back to be with god. Wow, you are so special and im greatful to have heard your message. I say you are special because ur spirit lives on. We love n miss you mattie. god bless your mother for giving birth to you. Thank god for mattie. R.I.P.
He is a gift from ~"God"~. I used 5 of his poems that he either wrote on 9/11 or that month to open my ~"book"~ ~"DIVINE 9/11 INTERVENTION"~. It's a TRUE story and it's free at WWWdotLOVEGODISLOVEdotORG. Also check out my 6 videos "The Curtain is Moving Again." here on YouTube. ~"Whoever"~ or ~"Whatever"~ is ~"moving"~ my curtain. It ain't me!
@Brentsey Why? So his sufferings won't take any longer? Yeah. But it's really sad that he have to die instead of be cured and have 2nd and normal life. RIP Mattie.
This boy is an inspiration to all. He should never be forgotten. He died when he was 13, i am 12 and i couldn't possibly imagine my short life ending already. This poor boy - RIP Mattie Stepanek :'( xx
I saw an interview with Mattie on Larry King.I hope you all get a chance to watch it someday.After watching that interview I got the feeling that Mattie was the greatest American that ever lived and to this day I still believe it.
I was amazed by Mattie. Shocked that at such a young age, he could write such beautiful poems. I own a few of his books, along with the CD by Billy Gilman. He has touched my life, and makes me thankful for the little things I have each day.
Born with Spina Bifida, I was often left out as a kid. And still am, now that I'm 19. This little boy touched me as a kid and kept me going, long live the amazing legacy of this boy. God bless.
a true peace maker. if only the world could be more like this angel. he was a gift from GOD and now he's back in the lords kingdom. thank you for that wonderful blessing father. he shall always be remembered as GODS ANGEL in my eyes.

@MrNoaBoi21 You couldn't be more sure. Mattie was an angel to all of us. God Blessed us with this one. He was so perfect and to hear him was a blessing. Never a harse word, but words of love and building. What our hateful government could learn. Mattie was never subject to greed, so I our government could probably learn nothing. He has been such an influence on my life, and his rememberance every day is the sunlight coming up.
that was one of the saddest videos I've seen. this kid was a true peace maker. if only the world could be more like this angel. rest in peace MATTIE STEPANEK. you'll never be forgotten. GODS LITTLE ANGEL.
Can someone tell me if that was Billy Gilman singing the song for Mattie? If I understand correctly, Mattie wrote this. I hope someone could fill me in on everything. Beautiful song for a beautiful life lost too soon.
Thank you for your note about Mattie and Billy. I knew from what I had seen that they were close. Billy seems to be a very unique individual, mature and knowledgeable far beyond his years. What a pair of wonderful young men. Such a tragedy that one was lost but not without leaving his mark on this earth first.
treasure the life we have, live in the dream we have in our heart..Mattie is an amazing example who came into our life, to show, how precious life is..and never give-up to love the love we have in our heart..cause life is too short to regret about the hurt from the past..just love & forgive & forget...love is always there no matter how hard it is..never give-up in your dream..
We need to learn from, Mattie as we need more, Matties in this angry and war torn country of ours, what we really need is a, Moment Of Peace to lift us up.
Mattie found his vocation at a very early age. We all usually find our vocation way WAY later than that. I'm betting God sent him down for a particullar reason. He was like an angel on a mission, trying to remind us to keep peaceful. It is such a shame he had to die. Atleast for the time he was on earth, he was able to send his message of peace. May he enjoy his everlasting life in heaven, where he will enjoy the life he wasn't able to enjoy here on earth. R.I.P.
i like how you used a billy gilman song for this ! love to mattie you were a luvlee boy and you are still with us all .. in our hearts ..x.. luvv to mattie (+billy) ..x.. <3
you have made a lovely tribute here to someone who was obviously a loving and gentle spirit who radiated love, courage, perseverance and hope to all who knew him.
That was a beautiful tribute to a truly inspiring person. Mattie has touched so many lives and he is one of my true inspirations. May he always Rest In Peace.
It's name Posession by Billy Gilman. Good song, isn't it? You should listen to the song in the same album named I am/Shades of life, too. That's great.
he died from a rare condition of muscula distrophy. He was only 13 when he died. He appeared on Oprah and Larry King Live and Good Morning America. He was a really good poet and published a book. RIP mattie
He was part of the effort to shine light in our hearts we wil be one some day we are one He is going to come jesus our savior , be kind , love , peace and happyness
omg this made me cry i loveeee this little boy he's such an inspriration still he was our angel and even though he had such a seemingly hard life with his medical condition he still kept that BEAUTIFUL smile on his face which shows you even though things may not be going your way just keep going i loveeee you mattie rip in heaven you are really loved sweatie
for all thous who have commented on my video thank you i can see he made a impact of your life as well as mine. i have also made a group for him on myspace if you would like to join it plz feel free to do so and come along spread his word and tell ppl how much he ment to you. if u would like the link message me :)
This young man has really touched my heart. What a lovely spirit. I would like to thank his parents for raising such a wonderful, loving child and offer my sincerest condolences for their loss.
Mattie was truly a messenger from heaven and he inspired so many people. I am blessed to have met him at a book signing. When I saw that he could live comfortably the way he does, it made me realize that my disability isn't so bad at all... Thank you Philospoher and Poet!
This video was so touching. Mattie was an angel on earth sent by God to make a difference in peoples' lives....and he did just that. I have his poetry books on my bedside table. Mattie, you are loved...I hope you are enjoying your time in Heaven. I love you Mattie. God Bless.
This video was simply magnificent, and so touching. Mattie has inspired me to write my own poetry, even 3 years after he died. He was simply one in a million. Wish I could have met him! I love you, Mattie!
awww bless i didnt think it was gonna have such an effect when iw as making it then till i finished it i watched it all and its maded me cry and i kinda knew how much it meant.
