Brad Paisley

A couple weeks ago I called T to tell her that Brad was coming to the Verizon Wireless Music Center. This is one place I enjoy going to concerts because it is outside. Well as things turned out I was going to go to Atlanta to see my son who moved there the later part of July. Long story short, I did not get to go to Atlanta. My father who has not been in the best health the last year or so had some test run and then my husband decided to trump my dad and get sick too. My husband has been home since Tuesday with severe pain in this stomach. They did an ultra-sound to check his appendix and his gallbladder. The way I knew he was really sick is he has not eaten anything since Monday night. He usually eats something every eleven minutes. I have timed him. Anyway, I felt as though I might be in the emergency room at any moment and cancelled my trip to Atlanta. So today, my husband is feeling much better, I remind T one more time that Brad is in concert tonight. Later in the day I visit her and she tells me there are no tickets. I tell her lets just go, there are always tickets, and she does not bite! I am having a little bit of a pity party. My trip is cancelled, I do not know what is wrong with my husband, and my dad is going to have to have surgery next week and so on. I come home and begin to cook for my youngest child who is home from college for a few hours. I miss him – he is so funny – it is good to laugh! As I am cooking I just can’t hold it in any longer and I have a good cry ------ and T will not even go with me to see Brad Paisley. Later while eating dinner I tell T that I have cried but I am over it. She can not believe I really was serious about going. She said, well LET’S GO! We are ready in five minutes or less and head out to see Brad. It was a great night. He is a wonderful country boy and I relate to all of his songs. I am so thankful GOD gave me a spontaneous friend; my stress level went way down if only for a few hours. What a fun night!!! (I will leave the ticket story for T)
Luv,
