Being open and vulnerable about the
most difficult things you're dealing with in life is very hard to do in front
of a room of strangers, let alone millions of TV viewers.
But when 13-year-old Evie Clair took the stage during a
recent episode of "America's Got Talent," not only did she sing in
front of the audience and celebrity judges, but she also revealed an incredibly
tragic hardship her family has been facing for the last year.
When Evie started talking with the judges, she was cheerful and
all smiles.
But when she started talking about
her family, she couldn't hold back her tears.
That's because about a year ago,
her father was diagnosed with stage four colon cancer and given a five percent
chance of survival. Despite his diagnosis, however, he continued working to
support his family.
Inspired by her dad's strength,
Evie dedicated her performance to him, singing a song that was very personal
between them.
Watch her beautiful performance
below and learn why the song she chose is so special to her family. You'll
definitely want to keep some tissues nearby.
I can't imagine how hard life must be like for Evie and her family, but I'm
sure that she definitely made her dad proud. Share if you think she's very
brave for sharing something so personal and heartbreaking.
