Comments about ‘Man shares cancer story through song’

that was a great story about Matt so glad hes doing good. I am glad hes helping others. the only problem i had with the story is why did they have to bring up things about his wife....that's definitely not how it went down Ive met the ponds believe me that's not how it went down.

Good for Matt and glad that hes doing great. I do wish that they wouldn't have posted things that are untrue about his wife. I don't think that's very good journalism.

good job Matt what a good story

Excellent article. Matt, you're an inspiration!

Great article, Cynthia. Matt is a real inspiration and so are you!

This is a great story about Matt. Cynthia, you have an eloquent way with words that makes your stories so easy to read. Keep up the good work, both you and Matt.

What a great story! Thank you so much for writing it. Matt is a great inspiration to everyone! His story has helped me so much. It has been a hard road and it has been a privelage to be around Matt, just to watch his courage, faith and endurance. My husband and I have been close to Matt throughout the entire experience. I thought the article was well written and VERY accurate. If you know anything about journalism, you would see that it was written in such a way that there could be no dispute about its accuracy. Thanks Again.

What a well written story Cynthia. Thank you. Matt you have been such an amazing example of total and pure faith over the last 3 years. With all you have been through, I'm constantly in awe over your faith and positive attitude. To a previous comment above, as Matt's backyard neighbor for many years, I know the family well and there are always more sides to a story and I disagree with your comment.

What a story Matt. Your such a inspiration. Keep up the good work. Come to Florida and talk to our youth - it would be fantastic. Cynthia well done - you have such a talent.

Well written, good to know that in these trying times, someone is out giving hope to the next generation.

I felt that Matt took what the world(Cancer) through at him,and ran foreward towards a fieldgoal. Versus giving up and being tackled,not to
try again. Now he is playing it foreward to current Cancer patients and teaching many "survival skills" for whatever may come upon any of us. Matt you're Awesome! Cynthia, Great Article!!

The events written about Matt aroused many different feelings within my heart and memories. The writer was wise to include these different feelings which made the article applicable to a large audience, in fact, most of us have had our own Gethsemane. Some still have their tests to go through. This example of Matt's can and will provide excellent experiences that other's can follow and finally find hope, peace and even joy among the turmoils of life.

This is an inspiring story. So many look up to Matt. He truly is a man of faith.

This is a great story. I always enjoy reading stories with a happy ending and that give hope. Although there may be two sides to every story, the journalist has written the article in an appropriate way. It was a great read, well written.

i agree with the first comment....sorry that's my opinion. but i am proud of matt for getting through this

I consider my life more enriched and blessed to know Matt Pond and I am very thankful that he has so much faith and courage. It is inspiring to all of us and I'm so happy that he is able to share with others.

Matt truly is one of the most inspiring people I know. He is a man of faith, courage and forgiveness. We have walked by Matt's side through his MANY trials the past few years and know that God has blessed him and continues to bless and sustain him. I want everyone out there who reads this to know that Matt cherishes his boys and that he is an amazing father. It doesn't matter what Matt has been accused of or what he's been put through--he is always positive and kind. Heavenly Father knows the truth and that's all that matters. To me, he has triumphed over many trials, his health not being the largest. In my opinion, he will be blessed in the eternities for how he has handled everything that has been given him. As for above comments, I want you to know that my husband was there the moment Matt was kicked out of his his home. This article is accurate. And, we do know the Pond family personally. They are kind, forgiving, PATIENT and loving people. Please don't speak of others unless you know the truth. We love you, Matt!

I think this is a wonderful story. I think the information about his wife is very relevant. It shows that he suffered physically and emotionally. Whatever the reason for the seperation, it is clear that she didn't have the resolve to stand by her man when he needed her most. Shame on her. Thank you for this story. Matt is an inspiration!

Matt is an amazing man! He is full of faith, courage, determination and forgiveness. I have learned so much from Matt about what is truly important in life. His little boys are so lucky to have him for their daddy! I know angels are watching over the 4 of them. I am truly amazed at the love and support Matt's family gives to him in ALL of his trials. They are such loving, selfless and kind people. I agree with Gina in the above comment.

Matt I just wanted to let you know how much your story had touched our family. When you sang at my sister's wedding I have never laughed so hard. I glad to see that you are continuing to make people laugh. Thank you so much!
