Hi All
I want to share an inspirational 'story' with you and I hope the link below actually works (me and computers and all).
Last night on our X Factor auditions was a guy Karl Dimachki who had tongue cancer 15-18 months ago. He has had a hemiglossectomy and neck dissection and in spite of being told he would never sing again, and not be able to speak for 3 or 4 years, there he was competing in a national 'talent quest'. He was wonderful. I hope you're able to see it and that you get the same tingles I got.

Love to all
Deborah

PS Thanks so much for your help Tony (I hope I've got it right!!!)

Hi Deborah

All I can say is WOW!

I tried the link you gave, but got the message that the video was not available in my area. I went to Youtube and typed his name in.

As I said, Just Plain WOW!

For all those newbies who have obvious worries, hey, it can all turn out ok.

Hi Deborah,

Wow, Amazing, Inspirational and Brave what a man.

I cried all the way through it and felt rather feeble at the end of it.

Love It, have shared it on my Facebook site.

Hi Sue
Great to hear from you! How are you?
I have watched Karl's 'moment' a dozen times at least. He was sent home last night but was full of grace and so grateful to have 'proved' himself. He is a shining light and I hope he goes on to bigger and better things.
Great that you're sharing his clip among your friends. I noticed last night when I was showing it to a friend of mine, he has had about 93,000 hits!
Fantastic.
Cheers
Love
Deborah

Deb,

I sent your link to at least 100 friends. What an inspiration he is! On Facebook I've 'friended' a guy in Florida who has had 3 recurrences of throat cancer. He calls himself a Warrior, which he is, of course.

He has forwarded Karl's vids as I have, and the message has gone around the world, thanks to all of us.

Thanks, Deb. This has made a world of difference

Hi Mimi
This is fabulous and maybe we should all form a Karl fan club to let him know what a shining light he is. Well done to you and your warrior friend for spreading the word.
Great to hear from you.
Love
Deborah
