Watching his mother suffer, Adam was 2 . As a lifelong musician, he always enjoyed playing for her, who would 3 along.

Somehow, she still knew the 6 of the songs she had listened to 70 years ago. When Adam played for her, this sweet moment allowed him to take a 7 at the woman he had known in his entire life.
Then he started to 8 their performances and posted the videos online, also offering himself something to 9 .

Adam decided to make it a 11 to keep posting more recordings.

With her endlessly kind heart, she would do anything ever, within her 15 to help people.”
