This is what I always wanted to do. To share important human stories such as this.  The world is full of amazing emotional stories.  Some are happy and silly while others are tragic and bittersweet but they are all part of the human condition and they are there for the telling if you are able to hear and feel and comprehend. Then to be able to tell them in such a way as to do great honor to all involved and to truly communicate --that's something special, that is a gift.

Reporter Steve Hartman has the gift.    The subject of his story, young Miles Eckert,  he has a gift of quite another kind.  Please watch and listen.
