    I am so horribly sad about your loss Dan. I life cut so short is such a tragedy. I can only imagine the hole this has left in your life. But it's warming to see how you're dealing with it though, and keeping Joey's memory alive and strong, and hope so much that they play Long Road for you and Joey. I think it will happen for sure. :x

  • If anyone sees this in time, please set your DVR to record the half-hour show "Highly Questionable" today at 1 p.m. PT on ESPN2. They are going to dedicate a portion late in the show to my son, Joey. It is usually around the 19 or 20-minute mark. DIRECTV channel is 209. Thank you all for your continued support.

    I hope they play it for you, I've no doubt they will if they see this. I can't even imagine the pain of losing a child, but I know having lost loved ones, that music can be a real comfort, and it doesn't get much better than Long Road. I wonder if Ed knew what a special song it was when he first wrote it?

  • Thank you all for your kind words and support. Hope you don't mind if I ocassionally share a photo of my son, Joey. This was taken at the Cheap Trick/Pat Benatar concert last June in Santa Barbara, California. Love him with all of my heart and miss him more each day.image
