    I bawled my eyes out watching your tribute. It was beautiful and so was she. I'm very glad you got to hear your dong at Wrigley. I didn't hear about this until I heard Ed talking about it before he played "Come back" at Wrigley.
    Sorry for your loss. Glad you got to share such a beautiful moment with the band and many wonderful fans in Chicago.

    Definitely the highlight of the night. The performance of the song was out of this world too. Very heart felt by the band, the crowd, and especially Ed and Mike.

    Yes almost a year. I was thinking about this just the other day. Anniversaries are tough. Hope you are surrounded by love and support and here's some from us too.

    I am glad this thread was revisited. I watch the video from time to time and I am still in awe that I was there to witness it. It only reaffirms in my mind that we are fans of the greatest band in the world, no doubt about it. It still makes me tear up thinking about your loss and the touching tribute. I hope you are doing well.
    40+ shows, it is never enough!

    Thanks all!

    I am doing great. Wrapping up another school year teaching (my best one yet) and getting ready to have a great summer break.

    After the new year I busted my butt to get back in shape and have lost a ton of weight. So excited to possibly get to couple more PJ shows in October!

    The one year mark was a tough day but it was certainly the day I was looking forward to getting to and getting in the past. I don't know what my future holds, but I do know I am ready to find out and try new things.

    Minus the fact that I still miss her dearly, my life is about as good as it gets right now.

    See you in Cincy and Moline, I hope!

    Welling up with tears as I read this as I did at Wrigley. I'm glad to hear you're doing well despite your loss. Its hard, I know. My thoughts are with you and of being at Wrigley and hearing the band play your song. What a moment.

    Peace.

    I was browsing YouTube tonight, came across the Wrigley "Come Back" and came to the forums - and found this thread.

    Saying a prayer for you tonight, brother - God bless you and Sarah.
