About the Song

"How Many Days" is a song about a little boy named Jack.

Jack is 7 years old, he has autism, and he is all about numbers.

He is always asking his mother, "How many days till my birthday?" or "How many days till Christmas?"

One day when she was putting him to bed he asked her, "Mom, how many days till I go to heaven?" Vanessa (his mother is a friend of mine) posted

on facebook about this conversation with Jack.

When I saw her post on facebook, it touched me so deeply and I had to write a song about it.
