The Greatest Love
Music has always been part of River’s world, and he is the inspiration behind this song. When I wrote the song, I was sitting at the piano with River on my lap. When we recorded the song in the studio, River was present at every stage. When I was singing, River was right in front of me. And when we filmed this music video together, it became an experience I will never forget.

Hey friends here is my response to your comments on the video where River and I were playing drums. Thank you for all of your positive messages and for wanting River to have fun! I'm also addressing some of the lack of understanding of River and of brain injuries in general in my response. Have a blessed #heartswithriverr#braininjuryn#anoxicbraininjuryn#NearDrowningw#riverthephoenixoenix
The physical therapy exercises that River's medical team gave us to do with the stander are already helping so much even just after a few weeks. Today is the straightest angle River has reached on the stander while atill holdimg his head. Thank you to Rifton for creating this stander and believing in brain injured kids. You guys are amazing. And a big yhank you to River's medical team and River's podiatrist for making that happen for River. You guys#heartswithriverh#riverthephoenixri#riftonh#braces##standerbraces #stander
River got so excited on drums yesterday. His therapist was here and noticed how much River loves the drums. One thing that is crazy is that whenever River is not having the best day with his breathing or secretions, getting on the drums always makes it better for him. It's amazing how when we do something we love it makes us feel bette#alesisdrumsd#heartswithriverr#riverthephoenixo#jamesmonroetvr#drumsdrums

More Music From the Journey
Tout est possible
Tout est possible was the first song I released for River.
It is a half English, half French song where I talk to River about an adventure. I was raised in both languages, and I love speaking French to River. With French, we can express love and emotion in a completely different way.
