In Gord We Trust...

Last night I was fortunate enough to have a ticket to see The Tragically Hip at Roger's Area.   I can't stop thinking about Gordie.   He and the band gave us everything they had and the crowd (myself included) loved them back with all we had...   

The night will live in my memory for as long as I have one.  Beyond the music and the energy what will stay with me was Gord standing there alone on stage at the end just soaking up that moment and the love.  You could see he was genuinely as moved by us as we were by him.   

The Hip are as Canadian as it gets.   Perhaps the reason they didn't cross over to success in the U.S. was because their songs weren't anything Americans could relate.   Although from a financial standpoint it is too bad for them that they weren't embraced across the border from this adoring Canadian fan I am selfishly glad not to share them.  

The tears quite real today.  I'm not someone who does a lot of praying...  but it is worth trying for a miracle.  Gordie if love could heal you - you would live forever...   

With All My Love, Respect, and Admiration,
