    Obviously his life as a marine and the death of his wife hurt him so badly he lost his sobriety, his son, his music, everything. This talented musician fought back. His son must know as must the foster parents must know there is a spark of the divine in all of this tragedy. Good for all of them for their response to it. I wish them all every joy in the coming months and years. Thanks to all who responded to that spark. May we see more and more healing in our world🙏🏻❤️

      Thank you also for giving him the opportunity to connect and talk w his biological father. It clearly had a huge impact on Donald. He was going into rehab the next day. This makes my heart so happy. I pray hes stayed sober and enjoys a great...well earned life. Along w his son. 😊😇 I was adopted by my mothers new husband when I was in 3rd grade. He asked me if I wanted his last name and I was ecstatic. From the day my mother introduced us...he treated me as his own. Adoption is absolutely a beautiful thing. God bless everyone

Hope his love for his son rekindle his interest to live normal. I hope the son would heal from his hurt and be inspired as well. Hope his son learn music lesson from his talented dad as one of their bonding time.

I really love the boy's adopted family, they are clearly wonderful people, encouraging him to talk to his father. I am praying he goes into treatment and truly embraces recovery and finishes his education. Maybe this is what he has needed to take that step. I wish him all the best. It isn't easy.

Perhaps the remainder of his life will bring him the peace of mind and sense of belonging he so deserves. The government and the greedy think that those who serve should be used and thrown away and that life is cheap. The VA is a mess and nothing is being done. There is a price for negligence-Karma.

I do hope that Donald goes all the way with the rehap and that he clean his act up, and then he can start getting to know his son again. God bless you Donald, and i do really wish you the very best from the bottom of my heart. I my self is a father to a beatiful warm and tender boy and he just turned 8 years old this January.

    It will be very difficult for the boy, because he is in the middle of his adopted family and his natural father. It’s not an easy situation for anyone, (I’ve been in the same one). I hope they will be given privacy, and will be able to find a workable relationship between them all. At least now the son knows how his father has always loved, and still loves him. I wish them all the very best of luck!

    He played hoping to be noticed so that he could reunite with his son. That's the power of love
