I may or may not have shed some tears during the Garth and Tricia live special

My favorite performer of all time is Garth Books.  I love everything Garth.  When I left for college in 1992, I pretty much listened to Garth all the time.  Only Garth, all the time.  My dad shared my love for Garth.  I have the videos of his concerts.  I just love Garth.

Tonight, Garth did a live concert with Tricia Yearwood on CBS.  I was looking forward to it all day.  All four of us sat down in front of the TV and watched it together.  I'll be honest, I shed a few tears during the hour-long special.  For one thing, it simply reminded me of a simpler time.  It reminded me of my dad, and it just really got to me.

Today, the Ohio health director admitted we shouldn't get too excited about summer plans.  Ohio is making plans to delay fall sports.  This means, that the state isn't sure we will have a semblance of normal even by August.  This was really tough for me.  I have a senior daughter, and I'm just not sure what is happening with things.  I can't imagine not getting to spend time with my mom, my grandma, or my in-laws for months and months.  And of course, friends.  This was tough news to absorb.

Garth sang songs that are so heart-felt.  It all just got to me.  I am so grateful for being with my family, and I know we will get through this.  Today was just a tough day, and I'm so thankful for TV special to make it a little better!
