December 22nd Mommy, Daddy, Grammy and Pop were lucky enough to attend one of Garth Brooks Flood Relief Concerts. Around the time Henry was born Garth announced one concert to donate all proceeds to the Middle Tennessee Flood Relief. The show on December 16th quickly sold out- 8 more were added. He ended up with 9 shows in less than one week- we were at the last show on the floor. The proceeds from the shows exceeded several million dollars. Garth and Trisha Yearwood performed with a tribute from Mayor Dean. They sang all of their hits with Garth's encores nearly meeting every audience request. The arena was packed, not a seat left empty. Everyone was lively and thrilled to be there. We were once again reminded of what Nashville had been through the first weekend in May and how lucky we all are. More importantly, we were reminded of the power of people working together and taking care of their neighbors. A good reminder for Mommy and Daddy during the holiday season- how blessed we are to have our friends and family and to have made a home in Nashville!
