During my chemo on the bad days I used his DVD (live in London) and his songs to take me away from myself, regroup then come back somewhat refreshed.
My present to myself for attaining remission was tickets for my sister and I to the Sydney concert 9th Nov.
I was reading old threads on the 2010 tour, particularly Brisbane.
In that thread someone mentioned 2 empty seats were vacant near the front and wondered what on earth could make someone not attend a concert of a lifetime.
There were two empty seats in the 4th row of the Sydney concert on the ninth too.
The day my sister and I were due to fly to Sydney she rang me, said Dad was dying.
I flew to him instead of the concert.
We blew airfares, the tickets etc but we knew that if we went to the concert and Dad died we would never forgive ourselves.
The night of the concert we were at my sister's place, watching the DVD and holding the tickets in our hands.
Dad rallied and didn't pass away till 6 months later.
I am a very easy going person but one thing I just can not do is take away the resentment that I missed the concert. I thought my cancer would probably return (as this one usually does) or Mr Cohen would not tour here again.
July 27th..HE WILL BE COMING TO AUSTRALIA at the end of the year. I am still in remission!
I burst into tears, practically incoherent, lol;
I did a lot of googling, joined the frontier site so to be able to get pre sales then tonight I join here, to find that you also have pre sales and they are already done

My sister and I will be buying tickets for the best possible seats for the Brisbane show in November.
The best news may be though that my resentment has now GONE.
I can't wait. I am so excited....YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS, I will see him live.

One exceedingly happy camper here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
