I am totally balling after catching up on the Idol auditions.....One just touched my heart so deeply.

 I couldn't stop the tears from flowing. It was the last audition in New Orleans. Her name Paris...she has a special needs child. She was only 18 when she became pregnant. She found out her daughter would have hydrocephalus. She chose to keep her baby. She sang and oh my goodness...... it HIT my heart so intensely I could not stop crying. Her LOVE for her daughter is so amazing. Her VOICE so beautiful. I really hope she makes it through.

Wikipedia; Hydrocephalus, (pronounced /ˌhaɪdrɵˈsɛfələs/), also known as "water on the brain," is a medical condition in which there is an abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the ventricles, or cavities, of the brain. This may cause increased intracranial pressure inside the skull and progressive enlargement of the head, convulsion, and mental disability. Hydrocephalus can also cause death. The name derives from the Greek words ὑδρο- (hudro-) "water", and κέφαλος (kephalos) "head".

What was your favorite performance? There were some others but this by far is my most favorite story and contender.

Have a great weekend!
Be safe!
