Day 110......yet another HUGE surprise

Big D has been given another gift of a lifetime........

Dillon and his best buddy love Justin Bieber's music (well most of of it anyway :)). .  The buddy got to see a concert in Phoenix just after Big D's transplant.  I had not even told Dillon about that at the time.....I knew it would just be too hard to hear and his dear sweet and thoughtful friend did not really talk about it either.  He is the kind of friend who instinctively knew how sad D would be that he didn't get to go too....so he did not even share his excitement with Dillon......that must have been extremely hard for him.

I  told Dillon a long time ago (way before any of this crazy cancer stuff happened), that  if Justin Bieber ever performed near us (i.e. Phoenix, Denver, Dallas) that we would do our best to take him to see the concert.....

I have known about the Denver concert date for months....but I never told Dillon because I had no idea if he would be able to go.  So last week after clearing with the docs that if we bleach wipe the seats and he wears his mask at all times and we hand sanitize several times during the show he could go......I posted on Craigslist (mind you this concert has been sold out for quite some time, but there are people scalping tickets online).   I posted something to the effect of...if you still have not sold your tickets would you please be willing to let them go at a reasonable price to help fulfill one of Dillon's dreams (and I gave a little background info on our situation).   The next day I was contacted by a 13-year-old girl who wanted to GIVE her tickets to Dillon. She figured he would enjoy it more than she would and she felt very strongly about granting Big D this wish.   I won't bore you with the rest of the details about how I actually picked up the tickets........but we have tickets in hand and.......

We are going to see The Biebs tonight!!!
