That was worth the wait! And perhaps it's the Irish in me that adores a winding and very well told story. I was glad you took the time to fill what could have been a simple David Squee story with slice of life details. I've travelled alone and I've been out of my comfort zone plenty of times, so I enjoyed the emotional nuances attached to what might otherwise been random events - so easily missed in the re-telling had the story been someone else's.
Of course I got a little back story along the way. I have two young boys of my own who present no problem whatsoever and yet I feel the loss of 'self' acutely almost every day. The enormity of your challenges and sacrifice is difficult to wrap my head around. All I can say is that I am very glad something good came out of the writers' strike, and I hope you build on the passion you feel and extrapolate it into all areas of your life. You should see how my friend's 76 year old mil - a widow - has come alive since she discovered Andrea Rieu. I have NEVER seen her with such sparkle and her weight loss is unbelievable. She's totally obvested in him. She's off to The Netherlands - from Australia, 24 hrs in a plane - to see him live soon! I'm trying to get her to buy a computer and start message-boarding . Passion for something. That's the key.
And you may hold whatever sign you want (I do think there will be more concerts in your future) so long as I'm standing somewhere in front of it!
*sidebar* How raging a force was NT exactly? lol. I'm all for standing on that side of the stage.
