OMG, that was so tender and sweet, gave me a warm glow all over. Lucky, Lucky you !!!!

Happy Anniversary ♡

Here’s the trailer, saw it in the theatre and the special effects are pretty cool … a real roller coaster ride, but also  more than a bit ludicrous …. the song at the end will be worth the wait though !!!!!

Dorothy, I look forward to your thesis. Life does take us in strange and difficult directions doesn’t it ? No figuring why, just learning to deal with it and learn from it.

(((Hugs )))

That was great ! So nice to see someone who is intelligent, well-spoken and totally knows who he is, it will serve him well in his career

But, Pleeeeaazzze … no sleeve tattoo !!!  PPPPLLLLEEEEEAAAASSSSEE  ! Although I bet that is the first thing he does when he gets back from the tour - money in hand, Drake in hand, freedom finally and a couple of cocktails ( which are restricted to days off on the tour)

OH, and kudos to the interviewer, finally some intelligent questions !!

He is really the spitting image of his father, the black hair throws us off, and the makeup he puts on his face. I think it is so funny to see him raise his arms and see blond underarm hair .. Whaaaa ?

So I guess he has freckles ALL over ….

His underwear must be those skimpy little Calvin Klein’s , he did say he wears briefs.

"Happy Birthday to my soul mate….. my wife, my love" and he recorded Adam WLL to play when I opened it.. so sweet of him.  Best birthday card ever!!

…. how cute is that !!!  Either he is the most romantic man ever, OR he has decided the way to your heart is to attach a little Adam to himself !!! Smart man.

Glad you had a good day. 

Xena, I wish I could be there to put my head on your shoulder and sob, you speak such truth, you have such understanding. Without knowing her you described her perfectly. She was rejected by her mother, and in turn treated her mother very badly as her mother died and felt much guilt. Yet she was repeating the cycle with her daughter. When you mention " shrinking to nothingness",  she barely ate in the last few years, shrinking down to 100 pounds, trying to disappear.  We’ve all been talking, talking, talking, realizing there IS no answer but needing to find some understanding, and have come to acknowledge that she just could not take the pain anymore.

But this is from the women, her son and husband are just plain angry. (" Look at this mess she left us with" ) It will take a long time and lots of love to help them thru this  …. and I will share your insight in an effort to ease their pain and anger.

You talk of this as if you had real experience with these feelings, and you mentioned coming from a dark place, my heart senses that you have been here. Is it possible that your life has found some new meaning ? Could it be that a young man who radiates life and all its possibilities has helped you feel real again ?

What a blessing it has been to find one another. I can’t tell you what your words mean to me, Thank you. 

XO, Ellen 

Thanks, Dorothy, Lots of sadness. But thank goodness it is being balanced by a whole lot of love and happiness around here.

XO

Ellen 

Thanks Cleo, you’re a dear. It’s been an interesting weekend, lots of talking, hugging and reaching out. One minute you think you’re fine then the reality hits " did she really do that to herself ? How did we miss this ? " I think of how full and fun my life has become, all the new friends I have met here, so positive and life affirming. Then the realization that someone close to me was shutting down, cutting off friendships, not seeing anything positive. When we spent Memorial Day with them I even showed her my Adam videos and shared my just forming obsession. It’s just so hard to understand … and we never will.

One thing I DO know, what we share here is the real deal and we are lucky to have found each other… to paraphrase our golden boy " It really is ALL good!!!" Thanks for your caring words, and thanks for sharing your Excellent Summer Adamventure. 

OK, I am going to start a controversy here … I see a rift between Adam & Kris !!!

Look at the video posted by GBA above, In ALL the other tour videos Kradam have a fun interaction on Hey Jude and especially Believin’ ….. in this one Kris barely LOOKS at Adam. Adam is focusing on Kris, but it is not returned. When they leave the stage Kris puts his arm around Danny, leaves Adam to exit by himself.  They use to have that fun little shimmy dance in the song …. Adam does it but Kris doesn’t !!! He moves away and leaves Adam dancing by himself.

Do you see it ? Could the reviews finally be getting to Kris, is it finally sinking in that Adam is the real star. What is going on … or am I reading something that isn’t here ?  

I’m back ladies, and I an so touched by your wonderful, caring responses. It’s been a rough weekend and will continue to be for a long time. The reality has started to sink in with my friend’s husband, he has stopped taking phone calls and has been seen taking long walks on the beach. My husband is going up there to spend the day with him on Tuesday. The importance of good true friends cannot be overestimated, but we all know that right ?

WE spent Saturday lolling on the lawn at Tanglewood, a glorious spot, perfect weather, rolling mountains in the background, a few maple trees already starting to show signs of autumn. I had made stuffed baguette sandwiches, hubby, his cousin & wife drank wine, I, needing stronger stuff, brought a pitcher of Cosmo’s, and we talked about life, the importance of love and the damaging effects of mental illness and how hard it is to understand. Then we went in to beautiful Ozawa Hall and I was struck by the healing effect of music, which I think we all here understand. For two hours I was transported away from my misery and brought to another, better place, and I would be lying if I didn’t say Adam’s face came into my mind. It was a perfect day !!

So, wouldn’t you know it …. we had dinner at a restaurant in downtown Lennox, the quintessential New England town, and our waiter was a double of Drake LeBry, I swear to God, and of course the two of us flirted the whole night. I told my dinner mates I wanted to take him home to be my friend. I tell you we are all SICK !!!

Thanks again, you guys mean the world to me  ((((((( us )))))))))
