Just got back from 8 EV solo shows here in Australia. Highlight was definitely meeting Ed. I've written about it here in case anyone's interested. Was an amazing moment I'll never forget.

Thanks Ed.

    Dude thats a beautiful story!! Altho it was just a short conversation, I had a lump in my throat reading it... Not just coz of your terrible loss but also a hero of yours stopping to talk, sympathise, encourage & focus on both you & your wife... Maybe something small to Ed but a whole lot more to you... :P

    If you have nothing to lose, you have nothing to worry about.

    I was already in an emotional wreck today but reading this...wow, the waterworks are flowing. Thank you for sharing such a personal meeting with us.

    Thank you for sharing such a personal story...

    I was at the Sydney concert when Eddie dedicated that song to you but obviously at the time didn't know what he meant.. I knew it must have been something pretty serious though..

    I hope as Eddie said, you are strong..

    Hey man, I really enjoyed reading this, it truly sounded like one of those moments where you have to step back and ask yourself, "is this really happening?". I am honest to god listening to Light Years right now and praying for you and your family. I know that it must seem a little weird for me to do that since I don't even know you, but your story touched me in such an amazing way. I've been a PJ (and EV) fan since before i was a teenager and, like you, the songs have deep meaning to me. anyways, good luck on future journeys through life, peace :D

    That’s awesome that you met him! Amazing, I was feeling how excited you must’ve been as I was reading, must’ve been such an incredible energy to be in the presence of. Sorry about the loss of your child.
