The "Beatles"

Last night we were the guests of the BCPA and the American English Show.  They are one of the best Beatle's tribute bands around.  We saw them at the Castle a few months back, and were thrilled to be able to see and meet them again.  Lucy said "I won't be shy this time when we meet them".  She was a little better, but still shy.  She brought her new  Beatle's magazine that she carries with her EVERYWHERE, and was thrilled when "Paul" Wanted to look through it with her. This was an awesome concert because we brought our lawn chairs and got to sit outside under the stars and listen to them play and dance when and where ever we wanted.  The kids ran all over the place and had a blast. By the last set "Abby Road", they were cooked. Lucy said she wasn't leaving until they played "lucy in the sky with diamonds".  They never did play it, so we promised we would play it on the way home in the van.  Which we did ;)  and all 4 of us sang super loud.  It was a great night.  And well deserved for both of my kids.  It's nice to be "normal" every now and then.  I really want to thank BCPA because I enjoyed every minute of holding my baby in my arms towards the end and singing her favorite songs with her.  Its a memory I will cherish forever, and hope it sticks in my mind til I'm old and gray and I can tell her kids all about it.
I think Lucy's love for music came early.  She always kicked my belly super hard when music played, but her very first concert was Bob Dylan.  I was around 8 months pregnant when we went to see him.  And the entire time, she kicked.  So you see, her old soul and love for music came long before the cancer, and will always remain with her when the cancer is gone.  It is her coping method, and I hope she always appreciates the joy that music fills your heart and soul with.
