Mattie Stepanek dies

One of the most inspirational and positive little bundles of joy I have seen on TV died today.

Mattie Stepanek, the child poet whose inspirational verse made him a best-selling writer and a prominent voice for muscular dystrophy sufferers, died Tuesday of a rare form of the disease. He was 13.

Anyone who saw him on Larry King Live on Sep 2, 2002, will know what I mean.

He has a famous book, Heartsongs & Journey Through Heartsongs ($US orders), and a website.

You can also hear him read a poem.

The world is a poorer place today.

Send an email to his family.
