However, it seemed something clicked in Patrick because after a while, his eyes widened and he began swaying back and forth to the music. With moments, he started singing the chorus of the song.

This was a child who hardly ever spoke so this was an extremely miraculous occasion. The boy's younger brother, Adam, was also pretty amazed to see his normally silent sing.

The video is pretty emotional and a reminder that anything is possible.
