Thoughts for the week…
There are days when you keep chugging along and life is going good and then something happens – a memory is recalled, a picture shows up, a song is played – and it feels like you get kicked in the gut.
Friday night – I ventured up to the cities with my family and some friends to take in the Kenny Chesney Concert. I knew it would be hard to go this concert without Joe. I tried to push it out of my mind and not think about it – but I got slammed in the chest when I sat down and the opening act starting playing. Just typing this makes my eyes tear up. Music was his life and he shared it with me.
Although Joe wasn’t physically sitting there with me – I know he was laughing his butt off for some things never change…
1. I got asked to sit down 2 times before Kenny even came on stage. Joe and I always got yelled at /asked to sit down. I am sorry for those of you who like to sit at concerts – I DON’T GET IT! And you definitely don’t want a seat by me :) (I politely declined sitting down – but did go for a “cool down” walk after the song was over and … found $60 on the ground. I felt bad that someone lost their money – but how the heck could I return it with thousands of people there– so I bought some beverages for the groupies.)
2. Every concert Joe and I ever attended – there would be a couple either on my side or Joe’s – that didn’t move a muscle throughout the performance. They wouldn’t smile, talk, clap... You guessed it – I was sitting right by them on Friday. (I think my dad felt bad for them – so he switched seats with me.)
Here are a few photos from the concert…

Just a really good picture :)
Although I miss Joe like crazy, I have found a way to keep going and I will keep going. Tears come and go – they are often good therapy and I try to allow them to come. I have true family and friends, new and old, who truly embrace me and help me keep on.
Here’s to a wonderful week everyone and hope to see many of you in red at the race on Sunday.
