    This man was my old Spanish teacher. He was kind, funny, and always entertained us with songs and fun clips to help us learn. Christina was my old PE teacher. She was kind and overall a great person. Best of luck to you Mr. Mauser. I wish you and your lovely children the best possible life you could have. 🙏❤️
    Edit: thank you guys for all the support! I love you all sm and I’m glad I got to share a bit with you.

    I watched this with my wife and had no clue that I would have the same experience this man had shortly after. I remember she cried, said it was so sad, he was so hurt. I have never been able to watch this since she left us; she caught COVID and was gone four days later.
    I wish things got better after such a crushing blow, but then 4 months later, our house caught fire; at least I got a chance to follow her advice, save my son, then grab the pictures and everything else we could replace.
    I can tell you that you are just now going through this, it is hell, but it gets better with time, the hurt is no less, but you learn to live with it.

      Idk anyone who only remembers Kobe and his daughter. My first thought was "omg. I hope the other families are compensated, remembered, honored, and have access to counseling bc many lives were just lost and this is traffic for EVERYONE involved." The world is not heartless, it's not bad, and most people have compassion for others. Just bc the ignorant is so loud and the media focuses on that, it doesn't mean that's how life really is. There are so many amazing individuals who felt bad and prayed for all involved.

    Matt was my teacher back when he taught at our elementary school. We're all very tight knit in that community, with a small class size that is kinda forced to become family. He was the best kind of teacher to have around, & his wife Christina was the best form of support through my years K-12. They're the most genuine family. He brought his guitar into class EVERY day and played our worries away with fun songs in spanish. Christina was so special and it's still so hard for me to believe she was gone. She helped me through some of my darkest days in my developmental years.
    I'm so happy to finally see him on a stage shining, where he truly belongs. To put a time on it, I'm 23 years old now and this was way BACK when i was in kindergarten! He is so deserving of this success, and I'm sending all my love and support to his family ❤️

    I lost all my parents at the age of 8.Currently I am 29 years old..Death didn't stop there. My uncle followed. My elder sister and cousin were next. My grandma left 2011. My aunt left 2020.We are just left 3 people; me and my two siblings. Whenever I listen to this song,my tears😭 just flow endlessly.I have now understood the meaning of being an orphan😔😌

      I know your pain, I'm an only child,. I lost my husband and both parents in 2012. I do have 2 son's but still feel lonely. I'm their Rock. I lost my BFF of 60 years in 2121 he was my friend and support. I've been on chemo over 12 years. I was supposed to be the one to die. Not my hubby or BFF.

    I know this song from childhood but only now i felt every word of that song through your performance. May God give you strength and bless your family.

    The excruciating internal pain this man faces every day must be soul crushing, but his love for his kids gives him the strength to continue on. This performance honestly moved me so hard and these things never move me. And although he will more than likely never see this.. Congratulations Matt, I think I speak for a lot of people in saying you are a great father and role model.

      Matt is a Crooner and being a musician he can rank with that of the qualities of Frank Sinatra, Steve Lawrence, Pat Boone and many more.

      @Rye Bread maybe so but it's still not about him! This is about a man who lost his wife and is now a single parent trying to move on and raise his kids alone now

    This man always makes me cry, when he said " she would want us to have happy lives, I don't know if that's possible but I'm gonna try" I felt the tears... You can feel the love he has for his wife, and I know she is watching down on him every single second. He is a very strong man. God bless him and his children. I hope he wins

    I can’t imagine the pain he and his children have endured. I hope this audition gave them a small sense of peace. He did amazing. He gave his kids more than he possibly could ever imagine. They will always have the memory of their mom as well the memory of their dad singing on AGT. I wish them strength and continued comfort.
