Still Swimming

Glenn & I went to see Andrew McMahon (Jack's Mannequin) last night. The concert was wonderful. Andrew is an amazing performer and leukemia/BMT survivor! He sang this acoustic version of his song "Swim." The music on this video is great, but, I wish it was closer to Andrew, because his words are heartfelt and coming from a place deep in his soul. When Glenn & I heard him sing this song at the concert, we both cried. I couldn't help but wonder why not Nickolas? Why couldn't he be here too? Why couldn't he have beaten his leukemia just like Andrew? Now we are stuck with all the swimming and choking!

Wow! Words & music are both beautiful. "just keep your head above, swim" still echoing in my brain.......
