Thanks for your inspiring story Connie…and best of luck with your knee. Just catching up with iHeart. Long day of homework…and now lot’s of snow. I saw Danny at the Grafton Christmas Parade and watched his charity performance later in the day. He is an amazing talent…even the venue for his performance could not mask his talent and his passion. I am anxious to get his new music (post-AI) and can’t wait until Dec. 22nd. It just seems like a LONG wait. As with all of you, I wish him the best with his new career.

I just want to say I truly have appreciated all the good vibes I have received from everyone today. I truly believe that Danny’s message is one of inspiration. So, if Danny inspired me and I have somehow inspired you then the journey continues.

Pay it forward. Do something wonderful for someone today, tomorrow and the next day. When someone speaks ill of you or someone you respect, try to find the goodness in them. If no goodness is to be found walk away. Sometimes silence speaks the loudest.

Most of all I appreciate be accepted by such a close knit community. We are a force to be reckoned with.

Connie, this is a beautifully written account of the heartfelt connection you’ve formed with Danny Gokey. Many of us struggle to describe why and how we’ve gravitated to this young man with the soulful voice and huge heart. He’s touched our hearts, and your story has too. A big Iheart hug to you!

Wow, Connie! That was WONDERFUL. Thanks so much for sharing in such detail. I can relate in so many ways…although I haven’t seen Danny in person, I’m so glad you got to.

Blessings from a fellow Danny fan who is also fighting the battle of the bulge and Type 2 diabetes.

Connie-
I don’t cry easily (I’m a veterinarian and have to shield my feelings daily or I wouldn’t be able to do my job), but wow, something about the way you wrote your story did bring me to tears.
Congrats to you for not being a victim of your own health and seizing control.
Thank you for sharing your lovely story with us.

Connie Thank you for the recap! You are a beautiful writer and it seems, a beatiful person. You expressed so many of the feelings and thoughts about Danny that I myself have had. I wonder sometimes if Danny realizes the impact he has had on people. Clearly he has touched you just as he has touched me and so many others who come to this site. If you are anything like me, you will be a lifelong Danny fan – not just of his music, but of who he is as a person. Thanks again for sharing your experience and your photos and videos.

Connie, that was a beautiful, inspiring recap, extremely well written, and it made me cry. I felt the same way the first time I saw Danny grieving so openly at his audition, and knew immediately he was special, and then I heard his voice. The rest is history. I live in NC too and also adored David Cook in season 7 (and still do, a lot) but I adore Danny even more because of everything he has had to go through to get to where he is. Bravo! This ought to be published. You are an amazing writer. Congratulations on your weight loss and improved health.
