So happy Joshua got his song and more!! Truly special moment for us all...
^^^ This. Sorry I missed meeting you and Joshua. Are you going to Wrigley?
My husband and I will be at Wrigley both nights. Joshua will be sitting this one out. I don't think that venue would work out well for him, there's too many variables. Plus Mom and Dad have to get their PJ time in too. (Which involves a few adult beverages) haha
Everything was so crazy this trip and we had to work around Joshua's needs. But, night 1 Wrigley we are taking a limo down early to drink and hang out all day. And we will also be at night 2. Both GA. So I would love to meet up with you, even though Joshua won't be with.
Joshua basically uses his wheelchair to get around. We do have a new walking device to support him, but he's still building strength. So, after two nights of concerts, 12 hour road trip and all the things in between... To see this kid standing, with minimal assistance blows my mind. Pearl Jam is the ONLY thing that can get this kid to do this!!!

@stina1118 - thank you so much for opening up to us strangers. Thank you so much for posting pictures and videos! Those 2 recent ones O.M.G.! I missed the Halloween costume! And the most recent video! Amazing just amazing! And the way Josh looks at you makes me cry, literally tear up and sob just knowing he has you and his dad -
I'm so beyond thrilled and what 2 great shows to be at! I hope you all got some merch and the boots are on the way
Oh please let it rain today.
Those that can be trusted can change their mind.
@SD48277 Absolutely! @FoxyRedLa Thank you! Thank you!! He amazes me. We were very fortunate to have people donate merchandise to us, so we came home with lots of goodies. This experience has been surreal and we are so grateful!
Thank you on2legs and everyone for their well wishes, comments and support. Honestly each comment means the world to us.
We're so proud to be a part of this amazing community of jammers!

It's pretty damn cool how the embraces are given and received. Even from so far away.

Enjoy the goodies, tangible and not
When we did our fan portrait... I had to use the lyric the love she receives is the love that is saved... That's exactly how I feel about this whole experience. Although the tangible merch is great, the stuff that isn't is so much better.
LBC was so powerful it brought me to tears. We said hi to you guys briefly literally immediately after you had your tickets scanned on night 1. My uncle talked to you for a second and gave you a hug.
What an amazing inspiration your child is, every time he was on the big screens the crowd got an extra energy boost.
My wife and I had the opportunity to sit next to you and your family at the victory pub before the concert. (It was my first PJ show ever and we asked about the buttons). Meeting you and learning about the great organization was the highlight of my night. I'm so glad our paths crossed and ill never forget it and meeting you and your son.
@RiotZact I remember, you guys were so sweet. Thank you for your kindness! Joshua had so much fun and still is talking about his special dedication.
@graves996 It was so nice to meet you! I hope you enjoyed your first show. It means a lot to us that we got to be a part of that. Hopefully our paths will cross again one day!
Was so stoked when Ed mentioned you guys and Josh got his LBC request. When I saw you guys on the jumbo screen rockin out it brought a tear( of joy)to my eyes. So glad you had a wonderful time in Philly. Keep on rockin' and God bless you all!
I was so touched seeing you guys first in the stands when Ed was mentioning Given to Live and then on the jumbotron night 1 - giving a big "f yeah" because this is what it is all about... How cool to be next to the GTL (such a great cause) organizer night 2 in queue entering the show and briefly meet you guys and hear of Joshua's excitement finding out where he was going on the van ride Your excitement, love and life was apparent and I am so grateful for the opportunity to meet you. Your unexpected generosity of LBC picks stunned me- what amazing reminders of the humanity at a PJ show and your personal story. Praying for the joys to be plentiful and strength in the challenges- hoping our paths will cross again. xo
got a car...got some gas...oh let's get out of here-get out of here fast...
I hope you get this message but your not home...I will be there in just a minute or so...
I want to go but I want to go with you.

I've had enough, said enough, felt enough. I'm fine, still in it.
If anyone grabbed a photo or video of us on the Jumbrotron, could you send it my way? We'd like to put a video together of our trip!
Thank you so much!!
Jim Powers did. Eddie starts talking about Joshua at the 3:00 min mark, then you guys are on the jumbotron. I don't know how to embed the video, so here is the link. https://youtube.com/watch?v=L4X_m19Z_MM
