You should never forget how important parents are to their children. Just being there to show your child that you care can make all the difference in the world. Just ask Reuben Gray, who is 16 years old.
Before his audition on Britain’s Got Talent, the older teenager decided to sing a song he had written for his girlfriend, who he had previously kissed.
Although it was hard enough to stand alone and talk about his personal life in such a sensitive and vulnerable situation, it was even harder for Ruben because he didn’t have the support of his biggest fan.
Ruben’s father worked abroad for about nine months a year, and Ruben himself said that it “didn’t feel right” without his father.
Soon Ruben got a shock that changed everything.
When judge Simon Cowell asked if his father was a bigger fan than his mother, someone in the audience spoke up.
When Rueben looked over, his proud father was standing there as if he had come out of nowhere. Ruben stood there in awe.
The scene was so shocking that the teenager could only gape and cover his mouth with his hand. After a while he managed to pull himself together. His courage came back and he gave a great, emotional audition.
With his father’s help, nothing could stop the young man from demonstrating his great talent on the piano while his beautiful voice wowed the judges and audience.
“You are real, unique and willing to take risks and I really, really like the song. “You really have talent,” judge Simon Cowell told Reuben before receiving four resounding “yes” votes.
