It doesn’t get much better than this people. Let me share something with you that has brought tears to my eyes. Tears of joy.
My oldest daughter and I went to see one of her favorite bands, Florence and the Machine last week in Dallas. I have to say Florence has an amazing voice and a wonderful charismatic personality. The concert was great and I am now a fan of some of her music.
As most of you know, I am a two-time cancer survivor. Cancer stories hit me hard. This is simply sublime.
Florence went to Austin the night after she was in Dallas. A 15-year-old hospice patient was wanting to see her concert really really bad. She became too weak. The staff made a quick attempt to reach out to this world-wide star.
On a spontaneous last second invitation, Florence and the Machine went to this hospice patient’s room and gave her a private 45 minute concert because she got too weak to make it to the concert.
I am so very touched by this act of kindness on Florence’s part. The world needs more kind gestures like this.
You’re right,thats a great story,I actually know one of songs chorus “the dog days are over” don’t know title but liked it for a long time. A few celebrities have done stuff but not enough.My Mum tells a story that only came out after Princess Diana died, visited the Bolton Hospice(still fairly new then,she may have done official opening as it;s called Royal Bolton Hospice I think.She’d done a planned tour & visited patients,as she was leaving she was told that someone had died,she went back to comfort the family & spent quite a while with them,not known to the press. I liked your previous post too,told you you need to do journalism for a living,very articulate.Just got back from 3 weeks in England,cold a few days but mostly mild,Mum was great until a week ago when she fell(no fractures)& seemed a bit different & GP doing a memory test today.Worrying as I only knew there was a problem for a few days & flew back on Tuesday. Heard Kelley doing better.We’re meeting for lunch next Thursday 1130 at Mimis(you came there once w Janice 7 CMC friends) I20 & Bryant Irvin All for now,hi to Janice Frances
