You are so amazing David. Just remember Adam isnt suffering anymore, and is watching over you. His spirit stays close to you and gives you great peace with his passing.
God bless you.

By the way, when you were on Idol, my fav performance from you was Music of the night. Totally awesome vocal. Just like Randy said.
Take care.

36. We're very sorry to hear the saddened news about your bother. We currently have a family member that is still struggling through this as well. This has been a battle now (off and on) for over 16 years. Lately has gotten worse and we always keep him and will continue to keep your brother within our thoughts and prayers. Please take care and with each and every song going out you work with and create, I'm sure your brother is feeling it and extremely proud of you.

I'm so sorry for the loss of your beloved brother, Adam. I know only too well how painful it is to watch a sibling vanish before your eyes when you tried so hard to keep them here out of love. I lost my sister to Leukemia 4 years ago. The years may come & go but I'm sure you'll keep Adam's memory so alive as you reach out to the world in his absence. I think you are an awesome human being and the greatest American Idol there is.
