She WROTE A Song For Her Paralyzed Husband.. An Inspiring Audition on AGT! 🥹

Hi, what's your name? My name is Siobhan. Where are you from, Siobhan? I was born in Jamaica, I grew up in New York, but I live here in California now. Oh, I love your accent, New York. And so how old are you? How old do I look? Well, 19. Yeah. That's the question. 20? I'm 37. You look great. 37? You're a baby. You look great. Thank you, thank you. What do you do for a living, Siobhan? I am a two-time Olympic runner. I run the 400 hurdles. Wow. When I was in high school, I joined the track team, and I realized I was pretty fast, and I set my eyes on the Olympics at that point, and I've been competing all this time. But I retired in 2016 when my boyfriend, but now husband, got in a jumping accident, which left him paralyzed from the chest down. What? A jumping accident? Yeah, he's also a two-time Olympic high jumper. As a ninth grader, I was number three in New York State in the 400 meters, and my coach said making it to the Olympics was like winning the lottery, and I was like, okay, well, I'm gonna win. And I competed in 2004 Olympic Games in Athens and 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China. And then in 2016, I got a phone call that changed my life. Jamie was coaching Olympic hopeful athletes, and Jamie's foot slipped on one of his jumps. You'll be okay, coach. We need an ambulance right now. Coach is here to check. At that time, Jamie and I had been dating for about three years, and we had discussions of kids and getting married. Even though I was actually getting ready for my third Olympic Games, when I got the news that he... When I got to the hospital, he was laying there weak and on a long move. They said he's paralyzed. Walking was not... That was not in that equation. Jamie just kept saying, I'm sorry. He felt like he messed up our dream. It breaks my heart every time I think about that. I think that hurts me more than actually me getting hurt. But I said, I'm used to challenges. She decided to retire at that moment, which was heartbreaking for me, you know? I didn't want to be the person that stopped her career, you know? You know, every year he makes more and more improvements. He's super determined and works really hard. During this time, I found a lot of comfort in music. That's when these songs started to come into my mind, and I started writing these songs for Jamie. They were so moving. Shimon used music to help me get through this. She had this other passion. Maybe that could be your new gold medal. He said, I want you to try out for America's Got Talent. I would like the world to know I married the woman that storybooks talk about. And I'm so looking forward to when we can walk through this life together. I think that'll be amazing. We have our goals, like this is our Olympics. And it feels really good to win your races, you know? But it's the hardest races. Those are the best ones. That win is worth everything. That's incredible. What are you going to be singing today? Yes, I'm going to be singing you guys a special song that I wrote for Jamie called Through the Good and the Bad. OK. All right. Well, welcome to the Olympics of talent. Good luck. We're rooting for you. Thank you. Through the years that we've had together Built a love that will last forever You will see that together Through the weather It ain't easy to have what we have Made a vow that we would never ever Break the bond that we made to each other We will stay rich or poor Our love's a treasure It ain't easy to have what we have Through the good and the bad All I ever needed was you I hold your hand And do what I think I can do To give you all of me Through the good and the bad Now we stand here together Cause we made it Built a love that will last And if the times get too tough You know we'll make it Through the good and the bad The good and the bad Through the years that we've had Together Built a love that will last Forever Very good. Thank you. That was great. Howie? Listen, I thought that that was beautiful and I'll tell you why. You wrote that song with such great meaning and not only are you singing that song you're living that song and I always feel like in today's world people don't really stick together and I thought it was a wonderful real moving performance.
