When Charity Tillemann-Dick, a brilliant young opera singer, was told by her doctors that she would never sing again – and would most likely die very soon – Charity was determined to prove them wrong. The video below is a moving testament of the power of passion, and the miracle of determination.

I didn’t cry, but I was moved. This was a wonderful video with many important life lessons. Thanks for sharing, Mary.
Hi Mary, this was a great video to share, very inspirational. I loved the line ‘we need to stop letting disease divorce us from our dreams’. Thank you for sharing.
A wonderful way to start my Saturday morning Mary.
Thanks for sharing.

Mary,
What a gift you have given me by sharing this video. Yes I cried…happy tears.
‘We need to stop letting disease divorce us from our dreams. And when we do we will find that we just don’t survive…we thrive! And some of us might even sing.’ She didn’t make me cry Mary…but she did make my heart sing. Thanks for sharing this heartlifting story.
She has such an amazing story, and a fierce love of life. I nearly fell off my chair at the end, I didn’t expect that! What a gifted young woman.
Bravo! What an amazing soul and beautiful voice! Thank you for sharing this story Mary. I am still crying as I write this, but they are tears of joy.
Makes all the small stuff I complain about seem utterly insignificant.
Moving beyond words and stirring for the emotions. I know now that I’ve got nothing at all to complain about. A poignant post Mary that made it’s point in every way. Be blessed with bliss.
