Oratorio - Young people
Written by Albeiro Rodas   

'This is My History' is the title of his last production. With written message, Breedlove relates the story of his sickness that put him three times at the edge of death. In 2009 he began as a Youtuber giving advises to other persons. But in his near-death experience, Breedlove relates how he saw a bright light over him that gave him peace. In one of those moments he even saw his favorite artists, rapper Kid Cudi, a mention that moved the singer:

'I am so sad about Ben Breedlove. I watched the video he left for the world to see, and him seeing me in detail, in his vision really warmed my heart. I broke down, Iam to tears because I hate how life is so unfair. This has really touched my heart in a way I cant describe, this is why I do what I do,' wrote Cudi in his blog.

Finally, Breedlove concludes with a question: 'Do you believe in Angels or God?' and he replied 'I do.'

He died on December 24 six days after he published the video on Youtube. The news of his death made lines on December 27 in U.S. first, covered by Nine Network's Ninemsn, Los Angeles Times, AMC, CBS News, MSNBC, Fox News, MTV, Daily Mail, Washington Post and others. It is already reaching other main languages. His funeral was hold on December 29 in his native city, Austin, Texas. It is easy to guess, from our Faith, where is now Breedlove... It is a beautiful legacy. His short life has been just meaningful.

'It's more comfortable for people to think of abortion as a political decision, or a right. But I am not a right. I am a human being. I am the reality. Gently I put the question, if abortion is about women's rights, then where were mine? There was no radical feminist screaming for my rights on that day.'
