I know you think you have the best husband, but no, seriously, I do.So last night my husband drove me 2 1/2 hours to Hartford, Connecticut.
Not until we passed through the turnstile and he handed me my ticket did I realize we were at a Coldplay concert.
I burst into tears.
Let me explain:
I have seen
a lot of bands in concert but, I don't think I've ever wanted to see a band as badly as I wanted to see Coldplay.
I tried to get tickets to the shows in New York, but they sold out too quickly.
The husband knew that we wouldn't get home until very late, and he was willing to make the sacrifice for me. We went to sleep at 3am and he had to wake up at 6am.
Coldplay's music speaks to me. I feel like their music was made for me.
I'm always a little nervous when I see a band in concert for the first time. Will they live up to my expectations? Coldplay exceeded my expectations.
I could not have enjoyed the concert any more. It was perfect.
They even closed with my favorite song, Fix You.
For those of you who have never heard it, here are the lyrics. It's easy to see why, with all of my medical problems, and several people close to me having cancer, why I love this song. I have tears in my eyes every time I hear it.
Fix YouWhen you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
And High up above, or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try, you'll never know
Just what you're worth
Light will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
Tears streaming down your face
When you lose something you can not replace
Tears streaming down your face
And I....
Tears streaming down your face
I promise you I will learn from your mistakes
Tears streaming down your face
And I.....
Light will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
I took a total of five 90 second videos last night.
See them here.I still can't believe I was actually there. It was very surreal.
Dreams really do come true.
Thank you Dr. Torrie for the best birthday present I've ever gotten.
Seriously, leave me a message! .
