February 27!
This is a very special day!
Two years ago today, close to now, Adam took the stage at Fantasy Springs.
My life will never be the same.
One year ago today, my granddaughter, Penelope Jane, was born.
Some of you may remember.
She and her loving parents came home. Perfect.
And then something happened, and she spent almost two weeks in isolation, in the neonatal intensive care unit. She couldn't breathe. At this desk, in this room, in my darkest hour, I reached out to strangers in a fansite for a man the age of my sons.
You guided me and your words kept me afloat in a sea of emotion and fear unlike anything I'd ever experienced.
I am overjoyed to say that Penelope smooshed and smeared her birthday cake all over her beautiful face; she's walking and has fat, fat cheeks! She looks at Adam and says "NumNum!"
It's one thing to have Adamtopia at the end of a long day; all the beautiful photos and comments about our man; the hits and the spins and the validation that he will soar. Those of us, bound to the earth, always knew.
It's another thing to come here when there is nowhere else to go. And that's what I did. Strangers listened; came to my side, offered comfort and love to this silly woman, as I sat in my cold chair.
Penelope is blowing you a kiss - from a sticky, chubby hand. And I send you my heart.
