Jared Correia experienced a stroke while in the womb and
consequently has spent his eight years of life living with a variety of
debilitating medical conditions. He has cerebral palsy, hydrocephalus and
epilepsy, which has left him without the ability to stand, walk, talk or see.
But he can hear, which is where his dad comes in. Jared's
father, Jayce, inspired by his son's ordeals, wrote a song for his song that
includes the lines, "I couldn't be prouder / what you must go through
every hour." He filmed himself rapping it to Jared, and Jared's reaction –
he smiles and nods his head – shows that while he may not be able to express
it, he understands what his dad is trying to tell him.
Originally uploaded to Facebook, the video quickly reached
half a million views as people shared Jayce's show of support to his son. Jared
"might not be able to see, or comprehend much, but boy can he hear and
feel a rhythm," Jayce told the Huffington Post.
