A Moment 23 Years In The Making

So, I had to take the weekend to process it all. Thursday was Bon Jovi day! Meaning...Their concert was that night! So, on our way down there I was suffering from buyers remorse over our seats. We were on the floor, but in the second section on the very edge of one of the side sections. So, I was worried that this was going to be a night like the one U2 concert I went to...ie: too short on flat ground to see anything...And then getting peed on. Yeah...For real. Anyhoo... Fate knew better. Fate is what got me the tickets I ended up with. Why you may ask... Because I HAD JON BON JOVI'S HAND....IN MY HAND!!! AAAAAGHGHGGHHGHAAHGHGGHGHGHGHAHHGH!!!!!

He sang the first song of the show from the back of the floor section (right behind us!) and then after the first song he walked down the aisle that I was sitting on the aisle seat of, on his way to the stage. Let me just say... I lost my mind! I was one of those girls you see on old Beatles footage that are like clawing at their own face and hair because they're just THAT flipped out! I leaned over at watched him walk down the aisle... Toward our fateful meeting (::crying, crying, crying::) , then he was literally right in front of me (::crying, crying, crying:: and in my mind the next 10 seconds seem to have lasted an hour), He looked at me so I stuck out my hand.... (::now not crying...just still::) and he took my hand and smiled at me....and kept on walking down the aisle (::crying, shaking, crying, level 5 meltdown, shaking, crying etc:: This continued throughout the next two songs)

It was, quite simply, one of the greatest moments of my life. I still can't get over it... I've closed my eyes and replayed it a million times already, that moment meant so much to me. As for the rest of the show.. of course it was amazing! Great screen/stage set-up, and my boys were kicking some ass! This show was better than their last concert here I thought. It was absolutely an incredible evening that I'll never forget.

Seriously.

Fate.
