I should mention that this concert has been our most anticipated event of the Christmas season! How terrible I was feeling to think that our grief would somehow tarnish this special night for our family. I didn't want to cry, but I didn't want to enjoy it. So conflicted. Then I thought of what my brother would say. Go and enjoy it. Don't cry about me! Get on with it! He was a very no-nonsense kind of guy.
Natalie's solo went very well, but they decided to cut their jazz set list from 6 songs to 3, cutting out Serena's solo. No worries. Plenty of time for that later! Seeing my beautiful girls on that stage side by side in front of me was just what this broken heart needed today.
I had some very enjoyable company beside me keeping me entertained, which was another of God's blessings today.
Also, Steve started feeling ill just before we arrived at the concert hall and wasn't sure he would be able to stay. I started praying. I kept checking with him, but he was doing okay. I think it kept me just distracted enough....that and the pvc's I was experiencing again! So, thanks to God for distractions, lost tickets,weird heart blips, and blessings, right down to who he placed beside me. Thank you, Jen.
And I thank Him for faithful friends who pray!! Bless you. :)

So glad everything went ok. It's weird isn't it to be grieving and happy at the same time. I'm glad Natalie's solo went well. Hope Steve is feeling ok today. Continued prayers and blessings.
