Last year Dave did a fundraiser at the Hammerstein and he and i hugged it out. it wasnt about the picture, it was about the energy. i am a cancer patient since im 24 and now im 41 and the positive vibes from DMB is the happiest place on earth for me. i dont rush to get to the front row bc im not healthy enough to make it through the concert without a bathroom break although it is a dream. Read on for details....
I was able to go to his sound check bc a dear friend was an event planner at the time. it is my "make a wish" to actually have a conversation but since i am not in hospice i can't sign up. the only peopleallowed in were the staff setting up. after he finished sound check i waited patiently for the security guard to stop ta,ing pictures with him and then he turned to go back to his dressing room.
I yelled out "Dave!" because I had so patiently waitied to not be obnoxious and he stopped and met me halfway. i just wanted to tell him that i was sick and how happy his music and their positive energy on stage makes me feel. He thanked me and said he appreciated someone commenting on the feeling they get from the music. i went to shake his hand and in true Dave form he reached out for a hug. Pictures may say a thousand words but there will never be enough words to express the feeling from the genuine hug.
A few weeks later on Nov 16th 2010 my best friends husband died of a heart attack at age 39 in her arms . And once again Dave healed.
