I am sorry to say that I never had the opportunity to see you locally (pre-idol). I am just sickened by this; however, I have a wonderful 12 year old that came first. We listen to you all the time and he loves your music as I do (although he plays the trumphet).
You have made me realize that I need to take time for myself. I was so upset last Thanksgiving when I didn't get to go to the Plaza for the lighting ceremony. I've been taking my son as a tradition for all the years of his life. Unfortunately, I had a unexpected nerve injury last June and was unable to walk to see you (they don't make it easy on those handicapped). Would you happen to have a photo of you playing at the lighting ceremony? If not, perhaps a photographer that you could recommend me get a copy.
From the first moment I saw you on Idol, I not only knew you were a fantastic, accomplished artist but there was something about you much deeper. As time went on, I realized it was how humble you are. What a blessed quality. Please don't ever get so large that you forget where you started, what made you passionate about your music, your fans, etc. Please don't ever let celebrity make you forget that when we are all side by side, we all put our pants on one leg at a time. I wish you had a page about your brother. I'm sure you want to keep that private; however, his struggles and his laughter certainly would be inspirational to others (let him sell his T-shirts and bracelets to carry on).
Also, perhaps its because I'm not computer literate but could you also have a tap with a "purchase items" on it. It would be so much easier to find "everything David". CD's, downloads, tour t-shirts, caps, calendars, etc. I feel so lost. I would like to purchase several CDs, downloads (if I can figure it out or buy an Ipod??? along with your brothers items. Tour information, etc. It is very important as well to donate on your site as well. I donated earlier on the run but I do wish I saved and donated for your family. I would like to assist with fundraisers or do whatever I can. My son is a great sales person at 12 if you can believe that one. I will pray and it will come to me. ANYTHING to be of help would be fantastic for me as I am off work on disability with my foot and have plenty of time to get involved in helping you. I just don't want to do anything you wouldn't approve of. My God lift you up daily!
You do remind me of "The Purpose Driven Life" by Rick Warren - and you don't even know it yet. Thank you for helping me!!!!
You have more experiences than most......
David,
