First Post..Please play..yes a request (Indy)*updating pg1*

MyAngel

Hey everyone! As I was washing dishes this morning I had alot of time to think about how amazing these guys are, especially after reading the follow up on the request from the boy for his dad. I'm fairly convinced now that the guys DID get this message and he did intend that dedication for me. And I just really wanted to thank the band and everyone on here for making that happen. The fact that this happened has put a smile on my face every single day at least once! I didn't even ask for a dedication, just a song so hearing him say what he said was a massive bonus for me! I can't even begin to explain the pain I have been through, and it is so nice to have something to listen to that can help take the edge off, even if just for a little while. It's been just over three months now since all of this happened and to some that feels like quite awhile ago, but for me it feels like just yesterday.

I've contemplated for awhile on posting a picture of my two little miracles. I am so proud of both of them, and would love to share a picture of the two little forever sisters. So, here they are, Lillian Pearl and Norah Helen


Once again THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!

Hi everyone! I've never posted before, but thought I'd give this a shot.
Ok, here's the story: My husband and I just had our second daughter back in February. She passed away at four days old. We went the whole pregnancy thinking everything was great, multiple ultrasounds never showed any problems. When she was born there were problems immediately seen and once she was diagnosed we knew she would not survive. She was an amazing little girl, that fought so hard to give us those four days. My husband and I are going through the most horrendous times of our lives right now. After this Indy concert was announced I had something to look forward to, and I've been counting down the days ever since!

PJ has been involved in just about every part of us and our relationship (we even met at an Italian Pearl Jam cover band concert while stationed in Italy!). Norah was at the first Chicago concert this last summer while in my belly. Our first daughter was in my belly when we flew from Italy to Vegas to see you guys (her middle name is Pearl). I have listened to and loved you guys for the majority of my life!

Anyway, at sweet Norah's funeral we played Just Breathe..my husband and I went back and forth on whether to play Just Breathe or Long Road (which you opened with when we saw you with Norah). And it would mean the world to me to hear either of those in Indy this Friday. I know you probably get tons of these requests, and I know everyone has a story to each of your songs. I just cannot even begin to say how amazing this would be for us right now.
Thanks for reading everyone.

Hope you get your song(s), I think you have a really good shot of Just Breath getting played.

I really don't know what to say....that even a sorry would make me feel even worse, especially as a parent of four.

I wish you best of luck with either (or even both) of your song requests and hoping you and your husband have a great time this Friday!

MyAngel, I really hope you get these songs... I will go one step further and hope that Ed dedicates Just Breathe to Norah.. I will be there crying along beside you when/if it happens.. I am so deeply moved by your story of strength during such pain.. I also hope we get a rockin' joyous set.. Believe me.. You and I both need some rockin' tunes to forget our deep loss for a little while.. (My mother passed in early November.. My last call to her was to let her know I has home safe, tired, but elated from the Philly Halloween show) Much love to you and your family.. Brad

Jesus that story just crushed me.. Heres to hoping Ed gets wind of this and both songs are played in Indy..

MyAngel

Thanks everyone for the support. Isn't it amazing the way a band can follow you and be almost a soundtrack for where you are in your life? Through all my ups and downs these guys have been right there. This is by far one of the most devastating things I could have ever imagined going through, and I swear just putting some of their music on while I am alone and sad at night seems to make things feel so much better. 1 in 10,000..those are the odds of having a baby being born with what she had. A complete random occurence.

Soul crushing...

CosmoCramer

Wow, I have 4 kids, 6-15 and just couldnt imagine. I bet you will get one of those. Never know, might get both.

MyAngel

Shameless bump here..Just hoping that somehow, someway someone sees this and is able to pass my request along.

I'm so excited for this show, I can barely stand it!

long road is, by far, their best opener.

hope you get to hear it.

No matter how cold the winter, there's a spring time ahead...

Fingers crossed for Long Road and Just Breathe in Indy. I'm really sorry for your loss. Put's my own complaining in perspective.

Thanks guys, really looking forward to tomorrow night! I'm going to be so sad when it's over as usual. The last time I saw these guys I was pregnant with Norah, so I will be remembering that time hardcore tomorrow.

Thanks everyone for thinking of us

RiotZact

Crushing story, so sorry for you and your husbands loss, If you think about it just breathe should be played almost every night, and they always open with long road at least once a tour, and they havn't yet, so your chances are good, even if the band dosn't find out.
