this little boy is from my hometown area. He's my teachers child's best friend. He's the sweetest little boy you will ever meet and always has a smile on his face. I look up to Josiah and his family because they're positive about everything, they know what's going to happen, but they make sure he's able to live his life like any other child. Josiah, I love you, you are my hero.<3
In science I did this as a project. I truned it in as any othere project. But this video made me want to help. It made me thankful for my health. This video makes me want to find a cure. or treatment. Thank you Josiah, You truly are my hero.
I play college hockey and always took it for granted of how I got there. I no longer have this feeling I am on top of the world because of this little guy. I now do the same as OhSync. I write JV on the top of my hockey stick as a reminder of how lucky I am. I play for you, Josiah.
this video always gets to me because i had a chance to play college ball and just chose not to and this liitle dude would do anything to be in my shoes i cry everytime i watch this i remember on my junior and senior year baseball cap writing J.V, he was really my hero
I hope the people that disliked this are going to hell. This kid was sent to earth from Jesus Christ himself to let everyone know to never give up or quit. This story has changed my life and I wish I could've met him because he is my #1 hero:) I love Josiah Viera<3
@XbOxLiVeGaMeR1241 Actually, it is amutation of a human gene causing disease. In this case a mutation of the Lamin A gene. I'm only 12, but research does bring knowledge. :)
This is the saddest thing I have ever seen. Josiah, you are one tough little boy. You inspire me and a whole lot of other people. Life your life to the fullest. <3
people dont realize how greatful they are. People cry about there hair not being curly or straight or how short they are, you get the point..share this with your friends so they know what other peopel go through
Im 15 and im just crying right now ill admit it, and when I become a father I would do whaterver it takes to make my children happy. Yes I do play baseball aswell and love the game just as much as little Josiah dose, hope he is doing well, and still in good health.
Josiah is an inspiration to me. I will be writing my english essay on him and his story. This really shows people shouldnt take their health and ability for granted. This story really touches my heart.
this kid shows me that no matter what obstacles you got in life , never give up on what you want, im going to dedicate this season to him, and all the rest i will play
This is the most inspiring video I've ever seen in my life. The fact that Josiah only has 13 or less years to live, but is still doing more for people that most of us will ever do in our lives, touches my heart and brings tears to my eyes, this was incredible, and I will never forget this story
whoever disliked this video really needs to think about other people then themselves cause this video is very inspiring and makes you want to do anythign you can to help him. Josiah is for surely my hero
he may only be six, but he's already my hero. it's amazing how someone his age is just so happy with the way things are and lives life to the fullest. he gives me so much hope. keep on runnin, josiah. <3
how can you dislike this .... 3 people have no heart and cant take anything serious .. most people spend at least 60 years old and Progeria kids live around 10 treat them with more then you would respect then the 3 dislikes on this ... don't take life for granite.
When I was watching this my heart felt really bad and tears just kept coming down and down and down without me even wanting them to and without any noise i cried from my heart! God bless you Josiah and your absouloutly adorable!
Wow, when the mother broke into tears, I broke with her.
What a nightmare! Having a child with a rare disease is a phobia every good parent has. But, living day to day, and year to year, watching the child live happily as time progresses is like a little piece of heaven. It makes both the parent and child stronger and more appreciative of life on earth.
My heart goes out to ALL children with medical conditions. Keep your heads up and know that the best is always yet to come no matter what!
i have forced so many ppl to watch this video..this kid is my hero and im a 40 year old man..makes you think when you complain about insignificant troubles of day to day life..and the 3 that disliked this video,???
Hes in a better place i bust up with tears running true my eyes =;( R.I.P (JOSIA) And pray for hes mom he hd this wonderful kid thats just gone and i a better place thumbs up if you agree (JOSIA) MY HERO!<3333 HE WILL ALLWYS ME REMEMBER NEVER GIVE HES DREAM UP NEVER QUIT HE ALLWYS BELIVE IN HES SELF GOD BLESS MUCH LOVE! R.I.P<33333
Josiah lives1minute away from me. In Valley View PA.Everyone from around here went to his game at the Hegins Park. I am this at 10:58,11:10,12:39,12:45. What his mom said about people that play softball,saying that hes their hero,me and my team said that after the game he played that night.Josiah goes to my school, & everytime me and my friends se him at lunch,we always think about how tough he is.Our school also went to an asembly to watch Josiah play with the Globe Trotters.He is just amazing!
i thought i was a tough hockey player, im ashamed to admit it but this made me cry.. It really makes you appreciate your life and want to live to the fullest, i think the greatest lesson this child teaches us is that it isn't always easy but you have to follow your dreams.
Ok the lovejesus dude thats dissing this apparently doesnt realize that he cant help a thing thats wrong with him. Even if you are kidding you shouldnt act like that to anybody like that because they dont know you are kidding. You shouldnt have your name as love jesus unless you actually do follow him which also includes that you should treat any sort of Gods miracles in that way. Exactly what is his fault? I dont understand? He is a perfect little boy who has a wonderful baseball dream and i t
i never cried so much in my life, this kid is a living angel. he has to be one of the most inpirational people ive ever seen. he is my hero and should be everybodys, may all his wishes come true and may he enjoy what time he has left on this earth and im sure he will touch more lives expessially when hes in heaven, when hes with god.
YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION, AND I WOULD LOVE TO MEET YOU! YOU ARE SOOOOO CUTE AND REMIND ME THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO HAVE IT HARDER! YOU ARE AN AMAZING BASEBALL PLAYER!! -3 -3
just goes to show that were all here for a reason. don't let what you can not do interfere with what you can do. your my hero Josiah, keep swinging little buddy. God bless you and your family
anyone who dislikes this has no heart...This lil boy deserves to go out and play and do what he wishes, he deserves it and all the love that he can get. U go after ur dreams Josiah!!!
i can not believe that people would not like this some people can be asses for the people that dont like go to hell and for everyone else who has a heart god bless all of you for which we all know this little boy has touched our hearts and god bless his family
That's ridiculous! It is not his fault that hes like that! I'm very proud of him for not giving up and i will keep him in my prayers but you need to watch what you say cause its gonna come right back and bite you right on your buttt!
@lovejesus2ful That's very hypocritical for someone who has a username like the one you have. Most people loved this video, and that kid is NOT stupid. Also, it is definitely NOT his fault. You're only 13, so I'm going to take it easy on you, but respect others no matter what condition or disease they have. It's very likely that you could have a condition later on, so always appreciate the good condition you're in as long as that's the case.
you just dont realize what you have until something like this. I have many nieces and nephews and to think when they come over ohh ill see them some other time but after i watched this every single time they are over i stop everything and play with them until they leave because you just dont know when everything will be gone... God bless you Josiah
this seriously made me cry. Like he is so sweet. He never gave up and I think thats why he is still here. He fights for what he loves. I really hope he gets to play on a mlb team it would be a good message for everyone in the world
Hey imzooted19, I hope for your sake nothing like this happens in your life because you are one pathetic fuck that would not be able to deal with this kind of hardship. GO to hell.
Rinaldi is a seasoned vet' when it comes to delivering these types of stories. But the look on his face when Josiah points to the sky and says, "Heaven" is unbelievable. It shows the raw impact this little guy has on everyone's life. Incredible.
omg i play softball and me and some of my team members watched this and we really would like to get some of those josiah t-shirts for our team!! do you know where we can get any????
incredible story and have unbelievable respect and admiration for this kid...im sure ill catch shit from a bunch of narrow minded people for even saying this and i dont know why i would but, someone try and tell me that this kid doesnt look like john clayton the reported from ESPN?
@MrMiamiucanes17 God is great. How beautiful this story is. Josiah is truly in inspiration to me, and surely to theirs. I have been truly touched by this story.
EVERYONE....please go leave a negative comment about this asshole imzooted19 who as the heartless bastard that he is, called josiah a retard. We don't need an idiot like him on youtube.
wow watching this i remembered this one part from the Bible where Jesus and his apostles are walking down the street and they see a blind man begging. One of the apostles asks him "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he would be born blind?" and Jesus answered "It was neither that this man sinned, nor his parents; but it was so that the works of God might be displayed in him."
Before watching this movie I was an athiest, after watching it it legitimately gave me faith in god. That people could be so optimistic through all that. The most inspirational thing I've ever seen
What a little sweetheart! Very sad that he will have such a short life...We should all appreciate our lives more than ever! Josiah, you are a hero, and an angel in training!
I watched this on espn on Christmas eve. It brought tears to my eyes and made me think about all the things in this world that children want for Christmas. And here is Josian and the most important thing in the world this little boy wants is to play baseball. He should be at the allstar game or the world series. Come on mlb before it is to late. God bless you Josiah.
Josiah, you are an amazing kid

Hey imzooted19, I hope for your sake nothing like this happens in your life because you are one pathetic fuck that would not be able to deal with this kind of hardship. GO to hell.

Rinaldi is a seasoned vet' when it comes to delivering these types of stories. But the look on his face when Josiah points to the sky and says, "Heaven" is unbelievable. It shows the raw impact this little guy has on everyone's life. Incredible.

@MrMiamiucanes17 God is great. How beautiful this story is. Josiah is truly in inspiration to me, and surely to theirs. I have been truly touched by this story.

Sometimes I feel that people grow up too fast figuratively. I never knew some grew up so fast literally.

wow watching this i remembered this one part from the Bible where Jesus and his apostles are walking down the street and they see a blind man begging. One of the apostles asks him "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he would be born blind?" and Jesus answered "It was neither that this man sinned, nor his parents; but it was so that the works of God might be displayed in him."

Before watching this movie I was an athiest, after watching it it legitimately gave me faith in god. That people could be so optimistic through all that. The most inspirational thing I've ever seen

What a little sweetheart! Very sad that he will have such a short life...We should all appreciate our lives more than ever! Josiah, you are a hero, and an angel in training!

I watched this on espn on Christmas eve. It brought tears to my eyes and made me think about all the things in this world that children want for Christmas. And here is Josian and the most important thing in the world this little boy wants is to play baseball. He should be at the allstar game or the world series. Come on mlb before it is to late. God bless you Josiah.
