A Song & a Heart

This You Tube video tells the story os an amazing synchronicity between these two women

From Yahoo Entertainment:

“When an Odessa, N.Y.-based high school theater director named Holly Campbell lost her 11-week-old son, Jake, a decade and a half ago, she could have never imagined that his tragic death would lead to a beautiful friendship with another mom who was living on the other side of the country in Oregon — or that one day she and that mother, Kim Scadlock, would be standing onstage together in Los Angeles, holding hands and singing for the America’s Got Talent judges.

“Back in 2007, my son unfortunately passed away and he became an organ donor, and his heart went to Kim’s son,” Campbell revealed. “And the last song I sang to Jake, to say goodbye to him, was ‘For Good’ from the musical Wicked.”

“My son was 16 days old at the time. He got the heart. We lived thousands of miles apart and had no idea who each other was ever met,” said Scadlock. However, the two women shared a musical bond even then, as Scadlock explained: “When [my son] Beckham was finished with his heart-transplant surgery, I wasn’t allowed to hold him. I could just kind of stroke his head. And the first thing I did when I stroked his head is I sang that song — ‘For Good,’ from Wicked.”

“We were blown away when we found out; it was really an amazing moment,” Campbell marveled.

Amazing, certainly, but also an incredible synchronicity.Watch the video. They performed together on America’s Got Talent  and were billed as 2 Moms United by One Heart.
