Special request for Cecelia and her Family (for St. Paul, MN shows)

Our friend's daughter, Cecelia, was in an accident a couple of weeks ago. She suffered a scary brain injury and is currently healing. Her family has been sharing Cecelia's progress and the ups and downs that go along with it. They are a strong family and Cecelia has all the love and support of her family, friends, and a great community. However, her injury is serious and healing will take time.

Earlier today her father posted an update. In his update he quoted some lyrics from Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town, "Cannot find the candle of thought to light your name" while describing her progress. While Cecelia's parents and siblings will not be able to attend the shows at the Xcel in St. Paul, Minnesota, I thought wouldn't it be cool if I could put in a request for the band to play and dedicate a song to Cecelia and her family. Just to get the collective audience to send some support and positive energy to Cecelia and her family as they work through the challenges and triumphs that come along with dealing with something of this magnitude. I know they can get through it, but having or hearing some additional support would mean the world to them. I was thinking if there are bootlegs for these shows, I'd be able to share it with them.

While my initial thought was to request "Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town" based on her father's update, I also think that "Long Road" would be very fitting.

So, I'd love to put in this request for one of these songs (or really any song) to be played and dedicated to Cecelia and her family!

    Here are Cecelia's father's words...

    "Remembering our names. We start to see wrinkles of frustration as we try to get her brain working asking her who is in the room with her (it’s a very small group of immediate family and a couple of friends, so far).  Today, she wrote Mom and Caroline on her clipboard.  OK, more accurately, she wrote “mmmommmmmdj” and “forcarolineforevryoovub”.  I was jealous there was no sign of “Dad” layered in there somewhere – maybe tomorrow.  She may ask out of the blue, “Where’s Blaise?” if he isn’t at the hospital at that moment. My guess is that if he was in the room and we asked her what his name is that she could respond correctly.  Pearl Jam’s words in that one song rattling around in my head all day today - - “Cannot find the candle of thought to light your name…”."

    At the very least, you're sending them some positive vibes from here by bringing this to the table. 

    I would love to see this happen next week.

    Here's a link with some info about the accident Cecelia was in.

    Some folks have also created a Change.org petition to get a stoplight put in at the intersection where her accident occurred. Seems these types of accidents have happened here in the past. It's a troublesome intersection.

    Looking at LiveFootsteps.org and realized that I have only seen "Long Road" live twice and never in MN. So, another bump for a dedication of "Long Road" for Cecelia and her family!

    I hope all of you who are attending the St. Paul shows have a great time!
