Decided to stop and take a gander,) First, what a beautiful experience w/you, your family, friend, and, of course, Phillip. Those 3,yes 3, angelic faces in the picture above tell the entire story. As a writer, I wrote about Phillip right after his big Idol win. Just knew from first glance this was one very rare and special human being. In case you have never visited this particular site where the article can be found you should check it out. It's the #1 place where anybody who loves Phillip can go and keep up w/everything going on in his explosive career. Pam is so committed and gives her all to keeping the news fresh and current. I've included a link where you can also see what I said about him back then and how closely it aligns w/how you describe he still is. Good for you and your husband, friend, and little boys, that you got to see/hear this star in the making (up close and personal)in the best of situations. Thank you for sharing the intimacy of the magical moment...poignant and priceless. I feel certain you and yours will carry this memory and Phillip in your heart always~ Best to you, Pz~ http://www.pphillipsonline.com/phillip-walks-to-his-own-unique-beat/pzhttp://pzpower.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522078929590763430.post-50514327876814040112012-11-21T09:18:37.010-07:002012-11-21T09:18:37.010-07:00Oh thank you, Lori--your gracious words always kee...Oh thank you, Lori--your gracious words always keep me going. Truly, it was such a transcendent evening that could have fallen through in a heartbeat, but instead felt as if it had been magically arranged by the angels. I'm so glad you enjoyed it : ) Diane J.

What a wonderful full circle moment to have with your best friend and family! Home is family and friends, but it's also finding your way to the place in your soul and your life that is beyond the darkness, which you obviously have done. This post, as all of your lovely writing, truly touched me, and made me feel very happy for you. It was definitely a transcending moment that found the pulse of meaning within the music. Plus, your boys are simply adorable!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07588825169412863892noreply@blogger.com
