Chris Stapleton brought up a young fan last night in Charlotte to sing. Didn’t she do amazing?
The best part? He had already performed the song and didn’t see her sign until later. But instead of letting the moment pass, he invited her on stage and sang it with her.
As I watched, I couldn’t help but think about what that song means to me.
Years ago, during one of the hardest seasons of my life, I listened to Parachute over and over while training for a marathon. Mile after mile, it reminded me to keep moving forward, keep believing, and trust that better days were ahead.
Seeing this young girl get her moment on stage with the very song that carried me through some difficult miles was a beautiful reminder that music has a way of connecting our stories.
Some songs are more than just songs. They become part of the journey. ❤️
