need good thoughts

I'm just copying this from my eljay as I'm out the door to the hospital.

my mom called me today and said that she and my dad and my grandmother were coming to the hospital re: my grandmother's heart. I kept asking, what do you mean...and she wouldn't really tell me much. so now I'm freaking out. they should be here by now so I guess I'm off to see what's up. this is the matriarch. the queen of hearts. the woman that sat me in front of the record player and made me listen to Conway Twitty, Al Green, Loretta Lynn, Wendy Bagwell, Tammy Wynette and so many more. the woman that gave me every bit of musical talent and desire for performance that I have. I can not lose her or lose any part of her right now. I need her now. the thought of it is too much to bear and this...just a couple of days before the Boston event. I will and am now dedicated all that I have to my grandmother on Saturday night. especially one song in particular. this is for Bib. I love you.

- and just as a sidenote I was finally able to watch the promo for Stevie's CV album...and like so many others, it brought me close to tears. and gave me strength at the same time. bless you Stevie.
