Meeting Marius

[@gifttanakan]

Can't remember how many times I have watched this video,I only know that I haven't got bored. Noticing that he always cares for everyone especially the one who is going through a hard time just impresses me. It truly makes me appreciate things much more.

[@SBT68]

Thanks for the blog! Glad you are home with your family for a while! Cool you got to go hiking! Getting out in nature is great! I was at the MOTAB show last year and will never forget it! Can't wait for the TV special and DVD! REALLY looking forward to Christmas tour!! Marius is one special young man and an inspiration! What a light he has , just like you said! Thank you David for all you do!

[@meghat93]

I am really glad you are also following your heart on going on the trip. Of course, I will miss your music but I have your songs from now to listen to until you come back! Good luck on your trip! You'll be in my prayers, David! Happy New Year's!

[@heidijoyful]

Thank You David for communicating with us. Glad things are going well with you. Yes,Am listening to the Asian Edition and love your new songs. So happy you enjoyed Asia and we've been keeping updated from your Asian fans. Many US fans are looking forward to the concert in Arizona and looking forward to the CD/DVD with the MoTab choir and you. We are also anxious for your winter tour news. I'm happy you are taking time for you and enjoying yourself. Marius is quite the young man.

[@weeds48]

I can never feel sorry for myself when hearing of such a tragic but inspiring story of courage. God Bless you Marius and David too for reaching out in such a compassionate, humble and classy way.

[@UnshackledWoman]

That poor child!!! :-( Bless his heart. You're AMAZING for wanting to help him out. *hugs* love you Arch.

[@coronet51]

David, thank you for telling us about Marius and for visiting him, I'm sure you brought a lot of cheer to him in the hospital. So glad you're also getting some time for yourself, you've worked so hard for so long, and still do, enjoy your time with your family, and hiking!

[@RArchieFan1st]

♥Thank you David for All you do!! You are truly an insipiring person. I loved hearing about Marius. I did check out his site he spirit does shine through. He said he wants to be a motivational speaker and I believe he will too! Yes seeing someone who has suffered so much yet still shines & smiles & loves, makes me realize how much I have to be grateful for. Marius also makes me realize that I need to work harder on putting forth a more loving and positive attitude. Thank you again for sharing♥

[@fireshone101]

Marius' story truly is touching. I went ahead and did about an hour of reading about his story after watching your vlog and it is too inspirational. Such an amazing little boy with a heartbreaking story! Thanks for sharing this with us, David :)

[@lemonpezz]

Thanks, David! Always love your vlogs! You've once again taught us all about kindness and compassion in spending time with Marius, a very brave kid, and no doubt, one of your biggest fans now! :)

[@cassiemor1]

Thanks for this vlog David. You are such a beautiful person inside and out and that is why we all love you so much!!

[@cathybarnes2433]

David, love the fact you support your mom. Thank you for allowing us to follow you on your journey.

[@njjluvr93]

i love how genuine you are, david. its really awesome that you actually take the time to talk to your fans through these videos. its really really cool that you do this.

[@blaketheamazeing]

So many good things can be said about you David! You are so out spoken, kind, you definitely have a heart of gold! I agree, thank you for keeping your fans up to date, we love it.! Can't wait to hear you this X-Mas. Be safe!! =)

[@virivirihdz]

Seriously DAVID you 've had changed my life ever since i became a fan of you. In a good way though. You had made me a better person and actually helped me believe in myself and know that anything is possible if you just put your mind to it. You are the SUNSHINE of my days lately. And i know im not the only one who thinks this way. You just know how to put a smile on peoples faces and touch their hearts. Because you have a BIG heart and is always showing it. So dont EVER change DAVID. Never ever.

[@Becoming0ne]

David, it is completely natural that you would need some time to decompress. I'm glad your hike felt so good and I really hope you get to take more of those moments. We love to hear your updates but I know for myself, I don't want to create more pressure in your life, so no need to apologize. I loved hearing your description of Marius and the light that radiates from him. Hearing his story, he has become an example to me, of squeezing as much joy out of life as we can. Love & Thanks!

[@Happpydance]

It's the light in you that makes it possible for you to see the light in Marius so brightly. It takes one to know one! Thanks for introducing us to such an inspiring person. I LOVE your 4 new songs! And I can't wait until I get the motab CD/DVD :)

[@loveandhate52]

i don't think I could ever not love this person! he's genuine, modest and also very attractive and can actually sing, unlike some artists that are on the radio nowadays.

[@luvarchie4ever]

David, you don't need to thank us! WE need to thank YOU for coming to Asia again, and this time you came to our country, Vietnam. And thanks a lot for your great shows here. I was one of the fans who got to meet you at the rehearsal in Hanoi, and you were so friendly to us, you never try to act like a super star for one second, you're just YOU, and we love you for being yourself, who you are! It'll be the day that we'll never forget :). Hope you'll come back :)

[@pringle3]

We love to hear from you, David, and do NOT worry about your vlogs being long. We love them long. I would've loved to have joined you for your hike last week. I actually really needed it that day. Glad you had a blast in Asia and that you had fun hanging with your new friend, Marius. I know you made his day just spending time with him. Your sweet spirit could make anyone's day. Looking forward to seeing what you have coming up for us :)

[@Angelface121491]

Yay David, thank you so much. WE MISSED YOU, it's good to hear from you!!! You talked about the light Marius had in his eyes, your eyes just lit up when you talked about him. You have such a sweet & compassionate heart!!!! Enjoy your time at home. Big hugs!!!!

[@reasonable15]

Your smile and vlogs (and music) make my heart happy

[@cadthu]

I hope you realize David that you inspire us much in the same way that Marius has inspired you. Thank you for keeping us fans up to date. It's because you inspire us and make us feel so good that we feel the need to keep hearing from you (did that even make sense?). We are DYING for a Christmas tour in the U.S. and pls Canada!!!! Luvya David :)

[@imabee2010]

You have a great heart David ,I had a loved one in Hospital so, me and my daughter had to stayed in the Ronald Mcdonnald house. I thank you for the visit. It is so nice to get urr mind off the medical stuff so when someone stops by it really helps. So a BIG t y from me to you David . Your allways in my heart for ever sendin you lots of luv your way . : n )

[@gregorytapscott]

You are a bright light yourself, David. You present yourself as a caring young man with a big heart. Don't ever lose that! The profession you have chosen can attempt to dim that light-have faith and don't let it burn you out. Cheers! :)

[@VirginiaAndDavid152]

When you read that little bit about Marius, I cried a little bit. And then when you started talking about him, you made me cry more. You are such an amazing person and so caring. I can't believe you are still a celebrity and so truly loving and kind. You might not be perfect, but you are still so beautiful! :) What Marius is going through isn't easy, but I hope that he can start to get better and better. Truly a blessing. :) Thanks for the video blog and making my day. :)

[@kitkat0011n]

He is such a humble & genuine guy.

[@RinnietheMOO]

Your Asian Tour was awesome! I'm both a US and Taiwanese fan and I just got the Asian Tour Edition since I'm in Taiwan on vacation! Love it! Thanks so much for making vlogs and updating us and it is amazing about Marius! Hope you enjoy your well-deserved break and have fun hanging with family! Hope you can come to Seattle in the near future :)

[@ArchiesArmyMonk]

As an Asian myself, I'm happy that you had fun while touring Asia, David. My family and I all had a blast this summer too. we took the time to go on a road trip to South Carolina and had fun with all the sight seeing. we even hiked two moutains alone the way. it was tough, but completely worth the experince. Especially how I finally got to see the ocean with my own too eyes at the end of our road trip

It's great to hear from you, and just glad you are getting some time to take it easy. Decompress I was wondering if you would use that as a tag :)

[@arinacalista]

Okay when you were on the Idol tour and in Pittsburgh, I was there and I remember being a total spaz and I wanted for you to play a piano solo and when it was silent in the audience I screamed your name and you looked up and smiled. I know it sounds so dumb but I was 13 so it meant a big deal to me lol!

[@eric06682]

Stil my fav idol, and he is adoreable personality, looks etc. Most importantly, tho, I have to agree is his humility. He brings it out in others, me, and the story did it even more so. How fortunate I feel from having seen that.. Lest I forget to mention the most impportant thing tho, shallow as it may be, David I hope you are reading, your lips are beautiful. :)

[@joyan500]

David, you are amazing inside out, that's why I adore you :)

[@Msnaja95]
