A Letter From Fred

Fred Stobaugh, a 96 year old man whose wife of 75 years had just passed away, writes a beautiful song called "Oh Sweet Lorraine" to represent their wonderful love. He sent his lyrics to Green Shoe Studio for a songwriting contest that he had no expectations or intentions to win. Sure enough, Jacob Colgan, a singer and song writer of Green Shoe Studio, decided without even meeting Fred at that point that they were going to do something about it. The song had really touched everyone's heart. Without any hesitation, Jacob wanted to bring his song to life and that's exactly what he did. His song took him to the top of the charts and set a Billboard record. Currently, the video has over 6 million views which Fred never imagined would have ever happened. Fred is not a musician, but now his wonderful lyrics are being shared with the world. Fred and Lorraine shared a love of music together which drove him to write "Oh Sweet Lorraine." After the song was written, he felt closer to Lorraine. Fred and Lorraine's love story is unbelievably heartwarming and as Fred sees how many people around the world are enjoying his song, happiness is filled in his eyes. This story melts my heart. The first time I watched it I started bawling. This man has inspired so many people around the world. Fred and Lorraine's love story is one of the best I've ever seen and Fred's song sends a message that dreams really do come true. He never would've thought in a million years that his song that he sent to the studio would become as famous and inspiring as it has. I think it was also inspiring that Jacob Colgan was determined to make Fred's song known to the world because not everyone would do that to make someone's dream come true. I'm excited for the song to come out officially. The happiness that Fred has definitely inspires me to continue pursing my dreams because in the end, it will be worth it. His story is heartfelt and meaningful in so many ways and I encourage everyone to look into his and Lorraine's amazing love story.
