That's awesome - I def want to be in jeans and a tee when the time comes...
Hard to believe its been almost 3 years...your right, the feelings never go that far away. Thanks for the notes...
I'm so f'n thrilled to say that in about 36 hours Ill be in the pit and Axl should be hitting the stage in Hartford! Cant wait to hear Estranged, TIL and maybe event Dont Cry live...
Gianna thinks she's coming with us to see "i yii" as she call them; i see a major meltdown coming 
Perhaps you could show her video on youtube or a dvd of a live performance? May help a bit. If you have someone watching her, perhaps they could put it on while you are at the show, so she may feel more like she is there. Also, a concert shirt or trinket of some kind from the show may make her feel like she was there too...Also, you could tell her that you will take her the next time they come to town, when she is bigger : )
It's great that you have a little rocker !!!!!
I'm going to Worcester, ironically on the 10th anniversary...I'm sure Brian will be giving me a big thumbs up for that!
I don't know what your beliefs are about the afterlife, but I believe that they do stay around and watch over us, to make sure we are alright. A lot of unexplained things happened and still do happen on occasion, things that I can only attribute to Brian, references to things that only I knew, etc. These occurances have been seen by others as well, and no one can explain. It is like they are trying to tell you they are watching and that they love you and want the best for you. I think they are around a lot a first, but it tapers off with time, only because the want to allow you to move on in your life.
I'm sure your wife, Amanda will be there in Hartford with you as well : ) I think she is always with you and especially your daughter!
Like you, I was widowed young, and never wanted anyone else. The feelings never disappear for your loved one, but after 5 years, I was ready to try again. I knew Brian would want me to be happy. He always did. I stated dating my husband in 2005 and married in 2007. He knew what I had gone through with Brian, understood and supported me. He still does, especially when I get out of sorts near the anniversary date. : ) Personally, I think Brian sent him my way(we lived 2 states away from one another) to help me heal, and move ahead in my life...: ) I still think of Brian everyday and I know he was around a LOT after he passed. He is not around much anymore, and I think the reason is that he knows I have found happiness and I am taken care of.
I wish you all the best! You seem to be healing and positive, which is great! Keep on your path of light and goodness and reaching out to others to help, you never know what you may find...
If you ever want to chat, please send me a private message...
I hope you have a great time at the show! PLEASE post all the details : )
