Two gifted musicians, Mat and Savanna Shaw, unexpectedly showed up at a woman’s door who lost her husband to cancer and treated her to a sweet, emotional performance.
Life can deliver some crushing body blows. These devastating and unforeseen circumstances can knock people down and change their world in an instant. But, during these times of hurt and pain, a little unexpected kindness can uplift and encourage someone struggling.
In a clip posted on YouTube, Mat and Savanna Shaw, along with a team of journalists, surprised Martha at her house. Martha, a music teacher, lost her husband to cancer. Mat and Savanna wanted to support her and show her some love during this trying time.
Martha could not believe who had darkened her doorstep.
“You’re Mat and Savanna Shaw!” Martha says.
Then it’s hugs all around, as Martha tells the father-daughter duo how much she loves and appreciates their music.
Later, Matt explained that he had heard about Martha's willingness to volunteer and the recent loss of her husband and offered her his condolences.
“And then we heard about the loss of your husband recently,” Mat said. “I’m so, so sorry to hear about that.”
Mat added that Martha had inspired him, and he and Savanna wanted “to come by and visit for a minute.”
Later in the clip, they move into another room, stopping near a piano. Mat and Savanna treat Martha to her own, private concert. But the song they chose to sing is not just any song, as Mat explained.
“The song that we wanted to sing for you, we were just talking on the way here, it’s really, really special to us,” he said. “Because it’s the song that started this whole crazy music journey for us.”
Martha gets emotional, brushing away tears from her eyes as Mat and Savanna belt out the beautiful lyrics.
What a wonderful and touching moment for a woman and a family hurting and going through a most difficult time.
