Sometimes we all need a dose of hope . . . so here’s a very sappy video for today.

A couple of days ago, a friend emailed me a link to this touching story about the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and their “concert for one.” It runs about five minutes or so. Have a Kleenex handy . . . .

Touching, huh? I was too busy that day to do much of anything other than crank out work to meet a deadline, but I took the time to watch that video, and I am so glad I did.

Now, an update. Because I heard about the video just this week, I had naively assumed that it was a recent news story. It’s not. That footage was shot in 2007, when the Mo Tab Choir was visiting Memphis, Tenn. And about a year ago, KSL-TV ran a follow-up interview with the little girl in the original story, now a healthy teenager.

Hope you’ve still got that Kleenex at the ready.
