This might make you cry. It's that Touching...

I have become pretty cynical and unemotional working in the music business -- money oriented much of the time, hard ass people, and seems like music is the last thing on people's minds. Last week though, I received an email for that exactly that reason I believe and it both broke my heart and gave me hope at the same time.  You need to take a minute to read this...

Hello, I am seeing Unwritten Law at your venue next week along with some friends.  I am writing because I would like next Friday night to be memorable. I have recently been diagnosed with advancing stages of ovarian cancer. Although, that is harrowing news, I would like to celebrate a positive aspect in my life. I have been fortunate enough to reunite with my first love.  He is the friend who took me to your venue last month for my birthday and we are both HUGE fans of Unwritten Law. I was unable to contact the band directly so contacting the venue was my next move. You have my permission to forward this to the band/band manager.  My request is simple, but I understand if it can't be accommodated. I'd like to dedicate a song to him: Unwritten Law's "Rest of My Life". We have both known each other for over 10 years. But, with the complications of life, work, and failed relationships, we just now were given the opportunity to rekindle this long lost romance. I have not informed him of my diagnosis, I am planning on telling him that night. But before our lives drastically change again, I'd like to have one perfect moment to cherish for the "rest of our lives".


After I got this, I contacted the boys of Unwritten Law, and they were so utterly cool about it, it restored my hope & love for this.  Changing lives...affecting lives...making a difference. They will be there at soundcheck Friday, and they will be at the show enjoying the music and eachother. And this wonderfully strong girl has inspired me, and I'm hoping to pass it along.  (If there is one) God bless her.
