I'm a Survivor!!

I survived it. I survived being at home while it felt like the whole entire world (except me and Debbie!) were at Bo shows.

Thursday night was fantastic, as you can read about in my prior post. Friday I was so excited over the new music and I played it all day long! But...as the day progressed and nighttime approached and in the back of my mind I knew that an audience was filing in, all excited and buzzing and Bo was about to take the stage, my heart started sinking.

I didn't call into the cellcert Friday night. Too painful. Nor Saturday. Nor Sunday. Oh, I gobbled up the videos and music that people graciously shared online. But my heart was down somewhere around my knees and I could NOT bring myself to listen live to what I was missing.

I've got the best friends in the world. They sent texts, emails, and PMs; they called me and helped to make me feel included! They told me that sweet Bo wore the angel wing cross that Debbie and I gave him in August all four nights. A minister blessed it, asking God to protect whomever was wearing it, keeping them safe in their travels. Lord knows I pray for his safety while he's on the road and the safety of all my friends. Thankfully, everyone got home safely from this run.

But mark my words, right here, right now at 7:51 p.m. on January 20th, 2010: I will never, ever pass up a 4-in-a-row concert experience again. He was magnificent in videos; I can just imagine how breathtakingly unbelievable he was live singing those new songs. Next time, Good Lord willing, I'll be there!
