The five deaths from the Sugarland concert in Indiana have been joined by a 6th. Jenny Haskell. I knew her. Not well, but we talked. You don't have to know someone well to love them, and I loved her. My hands are shaking as I write this post because I'm not sure how to handle this.
Sugarland did a beautiful tribute last night in Albuquerque in honor of those lost and injured. They sang their song "Love". Watch the video here. I think there wasn't a dry eye for anyone who was watching last night. Definitely not for me. I had tears flowing like there was no tomorrow. I hate that you can see in J & K's eyes how emotionally exhausting this has been for them. They are people. They cry, they hurt, and so we hurt with them.
I'm really looking forward to the Salt Lake Sugarland concert tomorrow. Even though it won't be like their usual concert, I know that there is still healing through music and that tomorrow will not only heal a part of them, but a part of me, and a part of the Sugarfamily, just like last night. I know I'm going to be crying my eyes out for most of the show, but that's okay with me. Crying heals. Music heals. Tomorrow will heal.
The LMP Live is going to kill me. I've made almost 1000 signs for this thing. 1000. 1000 of my signs are going to fill the venue. <3 <3 I get emotional just thinking about it. I don't know what my sign is going to say yet. Last time I didn't put anything on it until the song before Little Miss. It's hard to fit your whole life story in trials onto a piece of paper, big enough that they can read from the stage.
My heart goes out to all that have been effected by this tragedy, and those that are still fighting for their lives through their injuries. God be with you. We love you.
Little Miss Erika
