    Very cool. I had my 5.5 year old daughter with me at the show (he first concert ever) and she thought it was cool that Eddie talked to a girl her age just like her!

    Sweet story.

    My kid slept through a lot, how about yours? ;)


    Lydia hung in there, only because she had a giant nap and because Florida is an hour later than Illinois. She's used to falling asleep to this music though, so there were a few times she snuggled up and I thought that would be it for her! But, she was far too excited :D

    I was 3 rows behind you and your daughter Saturday night (she's got good rhythm :) ).
    What a blessing to know that as touching an experience the ORL 1 and FTL 1 and 2 nights were for me it was just the tip of the iceberg in the grand scheme of things. My family, kids and girlfriend all think I'm nuts but the whole PJ/EV gig is so much more than music. It's life. How lucky we are to have a group of guys lay down our soundtracks with the passion and emotion that they put into their music. And what a beautiful experience for you and your daughter. These are times to cherish forever.......
    Love is all you need.....
  • I love how this band/EV can be inter-generationally appreciated and touched.

    Great story and especially close to my heart as someone who has suffered with anxiety for a long time.
    Thanks for making my day :D:D:D

    I have had the pleasure of meeting Carey. To me Carey, you are one of the most genuine people I have ever met.
    It brings a smile to my face when I see yours and your children's smiles light up my computer screen. Even more so when I hear about this story and I know that concert will be truly cherished by you and your little girl forever.

    Wow Jodie, thanks so much, I really appreciate this. I feel the same about having met you :D Thanks so much for posting this!

    The kind words here by everyone have been fantastic. All the positive feedback and support for my little family renders me a little bit speechless. So thank you, everyone ;)
