  • Dear Kellie,

    I am so proud of you and your achievements and being adopted at 2 and finding my brothers and sisters in 1992 have brought me full circle. I had a tough life myself and have two grown children and husband. You are a beautiful young lady and God has blessed you with so many talents and you make our day listening to you sing and your smile is contagious. God Bless you in your endeavors in life and know he has blessed you to enrich others lives with your courage. I have 7 brothers and sisters and I did forgive my parents for abandoning me.

  • I came across this song as I drove across the USA last year and it has a haunting melody that I could not, indeed cannot get out of my mind. This is a great song and you have a wonderful voice Kellie I hope you come to Ireland some time soon where you will soon have a very large fan base.
