Request for song dedication to my late wife (Pearl Jam concert in Krakow, Poland, July 3, 2018)

Sitos79

Dear Pearl Jam,

Ever since she was a teenager, my late wife, Izabela, had dreamed of seeing Pearl Jam live. And so the moment I heard Pearl Jam would be performing in Poland this summer, I snapped up a pair of tickets for the two of us.

Sadly, my wife, who had been battling cancer, passed away in May. She was thirtyseven. She left behind two three-year-old twins. She is dearly missed.

I still had the tickets. I didn’t know what to do with them. First, I decided I couldn’t possibly go to the concert without her. Her absence would be too painful. The tickets would have to be given away.

But then I thought about how my wife would think I was a fool for not taking advantage of this opportunity! So I decided I would go, with Izabela, her dream coming true, accompanying me in spirit.

And then I began to wonder if a truly special thing could happen: if the band might consider dedicating the performance of a song in Krakow to the memory of Izabela. Garden, Black, Jeremy, Daughter. Immortality. A dedication before any of these songs, which I know she is now listening to on eternal repeat, would be a gesture I would be forever grateful for.

Thank you for reading. And whatever happens, I’ll be there in July. I can’t wait.

Dear Friends. Let's all help to make it happen. Comment the post, ask your friends to comment the post. The more comments we leave the bigger chance someone from the band or their crew will read it.

I know Rafał and I know how much it would mean to him. And how much it would mean to Iza.
