    One month ago today on June 19, my son, Joey, passed away unexpectedly at age 13 due to complications from surgery he had on June 10.

    My little force of nature had a beautiful smile, warm heart, irresistible laugh and sweet personality. Music played such an integral part of Joey’s life and my connection with him. He had taken up the drums in the past year and we attended a number of concerts together. Unfortunately, we never had a chance to see my favorite band, Pearl Jam, together.

    In order to have something to look forward to, I am flying from Los Angeles to attend the Austin City Limits show on Sunday, Oct. 12.

    If possible, I would greatly appreciate it if you would play "Long Road" and dedicate it to Joey on that date.

    Thanks for your consideration.

    Sincerely,

    Dan Thomasimage

    Just want everyone to know how much I appreciate all of your kind words of support.

    Although I struggle to get through each day and am not doing well, I do look forward to seeing the notification of the latest "bump" from each of you.

    Thank you all.

    Its our pleasure :) it's also a normal way you are feeling, it never goes away but you learn to cope better as each day goes by, the spirit strengthens and learns to rejoice in the good memories instead of feeling of emptiness.

    So sorry for your loss, I know there are no words that will take the pain away, but I hope you get your wish and that it will help towards the healing process.

    If it does happen, it will lead to an even more memorable/emotional night that you anticipated (remember to take some tissues!!). Even if it doesn't happen, just remember that there'll be a huge number of fans thinking of Joey on the night, so he'll be honoured no matter what does or doesn't happen! :)
