One Enchanted Evening

On Monday (April 26th, 2010) I volunteered at Theatre By The Bay. I got to usher Left Pod at the Griffin Theatre.
They had The Jersey Boys and some other talented singers. Colm Wilkinson (I hope I spelt it right) was the headliner from Les Mis, Phantom. I was so busy ushering I didn't realize until he began to sing that I was actually going to finally get to hear and see one of my favourite songs live!
He sang "Music of the Night" and tears rolled down my cheeks. He also sang One Enchanted Evening, Halleluha (Leonard Cohen), and a Country Song.
I had to leave before the last bus left and it was cold, the wind was strong. So, I made it home to Wendy's and I felt good.
There were so many other things. The show was full of surprises, there was a young disabled woman just smiling away and I enjoyed watching her enjoy the music.
When I was in New York I was excited that Phantom was coming to Toronto. When it arrived it was so big I just didn't go, prob couldn't afford it either. I knew of people that saw it 3 times! LOL But, I finally got to see one song live! And I couldn't be happier.
So, I got to go out for a night, a free concert, magical, around people, dashing home after like Cinderella. And yet, I live with a Cinderella too. Wendy and I get along great and I want to work to be able to afford for us both to go out more, to restaurants, to shows, to have a life.
I thought of Allan most of the night, we had recently parted ways, and of course I thought of Lorne. I love them both so much and yet again not able to be together.
Was it someone, or one of them, or family trying to make up for lost time? That's how it felt, like I was given something I missed due to sacrifice.
Anyway, thank you Colm Wilkinson for that. Funny, the first shelter was Wilkie/Wilkinson in Brampton, a nightmare of a place. Was it one of the young men that died? Was is the older man trying to work and sober up, do I have a secret love, did I make a difference in someone's life?
There is a God. And Love.
