大衛和一個得了絕症粉絲Michael昨晚在Northampton見面的故事,也是為了讓他見大衛的夢能夠成真,在幕後默默努力大衛粉絲的故事,感人至深,是“大衛精神”最好的寫照:
I had met a friend online, Michael who is terminally ill. Over the past month or two, we have become great email friends. I was honored to meet him for the show (his last one). Oystar and the team at Team Archie got Michael a ticket even though it was sold out since he was in the hospital when the tickets went on sale and they sold out fast. I emailed around and found out there was a good chance David would meet with Michael if at all possible. I knew it meant the world to Michael, and I was determined to do whatever I could to make him dream come true. He asked me to be there to share his moment with David, and I am so honored that I was there.
大家看大衛爸爸的眼神,多麼的關切,多麼的感同身受,還有我們的大衛,他臉上的表情是多麼的溫暖。
Then my husband says “turn around” and David was right there. He came straight over to Michael and held out his hand. He held Michael’s hand while Michael talked with him. I backed up so it could be private between them. I was behind Michael’s wheel chair with a full view of David’s face. His eyes filled with tears as he held Michael’s hand. My husband captured a beautiful picture of it. This is Michael’s last concert and his only chance to meet David, and David knew that. They talked for awhile and David signed a picture and Michael’s CD.
I went over to David when they finished talked and I said thank you so much for doing this for him, it means the world and I reached out to hug him. He hugged me very very tightly and said no problem at all and smiled.
The thing that hit me most of the whole experience was the emotion between David and Michael. I’ve never experienced anything like it. If you could have seen David’s eyes…kindness, compassion, caring, love all rolled into one. His eyes never left Michaels, he was leaned over eye level with him, I will never forget how he was. He was genuine with him, took his time, and you could tell it meant a lot to David as well as Michael. I can’t look at the picture without crying my eyes out.
I want to thank everyone who worked with me to make Michael’s dream of meeting David come true. I’m not sure I’m supposed to give details so I won’t, but you know who you are and I love you for it.
