I took my daughter to see the Jonas Brothers. I was struck by the song Nick Jonas wrote about having Juvenile Diabetes. Cause I was thinking, it could have been written about NF as well. I would never wish NF on anyone, ever. But what if we had a young man or woman who was attractive, who had NF, a potentially crippling, potentially disfiguring disease. How awsome would that be. I read once that people respond more when "pretty things" get broken. I do hope that Nick stays well. He is an extremely talented young man. I gotta say, I was kinda dreading the concert, but other than loosing a couple of decibles of my hearing, I really enjoyed it. A Little Bit Longer Got the news todayBut they said I had to stayA little bit longer and I'd be fineWhen I thought it'd all be doneWhen I thought it'd all been saidA little bit longer and I'll be fineBut you don't know what you got 'til it's goneAnd you don't know what it's like to feel so lowAnd every time you smile or laugh you glowYou don't even know, no, no.You don't even know.All this time moves byStill no reason whyA little bit longer and I'll be fine.Waitin' on a cureBut none of them are sureA little bit longer and I'll be fineBut you don’t know what you got 'til it's goneYou don’t know what it’s like to feel so low.And every time you smile or laugh you glowYou don’t even know, no, no.You don’t even know, no, no.You don’t even know, no.But you don't know what you got 'til it's gone.And you don't know what it's like to feel so low, yeah!And every time you smile or laugh you glowYou don’t even know! Yeah!So I'll wait 'til kingdom come.All the highs and lows are gone.A little bit longer and I'll be fine.I’ll be fine.

Interesting thoughts...both yours and his. Music is such a great way for a message to get through. I\'d not heard the statement about \"pretty things\" but it does seem like that\'s the way it goes.
Wow. All those times I\'ve been in the hospital...those lyrics really say it. Thank you for sharing that.
