    What an incredible first post!

    There are certainly some special people out there, and it sounds like you, your wife, and this unknown man fall into that category. It is wonderful to hear when people appreciate the right things in life. As much as many of us may bitch about setlists or ticket prices, those things seem so small when you read something like this. My best to you and your whole family.

    Butthead: It means that his friends are like turds and that they like suck.
    Beavis: Heh heh. Oh yeah. Yeah! Get those spoons out of my face before I shove them up your butt!

    It is really sweet of you to share your appreciation for not only your wife's life but that of your own and your child. And more importantly your loyalty to Pearl Jam and it's community.

    I can tell you now that 10 years on and the band still live with that tragedy and still very much support those affected on this particular day. In many ways it changed things and I'm the first to say that from bad something good always comes out. This...is something good from something so very bad.

    Wishing your family a lifetime of good health, love and happiness xx
