For Amanda

Sometimes you meet angels and they're everyday people. They're standing right in front of you, and all your problems pale into insignificance. I've been lucky enough to meet a few of them in my life, but one who touched me so deeply has left our shores for greener pastures.

I wanted to say thank you and to celebrate the life of an angel named Amanda who I had the privilege of meeting on stage in Liverpool last year.

I remember the moment so clearly.
I was singing 'So Beautiful' and I looked down at this lady who had the biggest smile on her face. She was obviously frail from her illness but her smile lit up the universe. I never did this at any other show on the tour but on this night I reached down and asked her to come up on stage with me so I could sing the song to her.

I held her and I felt so humbled to be in the presence of such strength and dignity.

Today I found out that Amanda lost her battle with cancer and my heart broke. But my spirit felt so happy that I'd witnessed a bright spark in an even brighter life.

To Amanda and family, I wanted to thank you for the moment that I shared with your lovely one. I only knew her for a minute but I felt honored to meet a such an extraordinary person with such a gigantic heart.

With love and the deepest gratitude I dedicate 'So Beautiful' to you, Amanda.
It's yours. It was never mine to give away anyway.

'I have lost my illusions I have drowned in your words.
I have left my confusion to a cynical world.
I am throwing myself at things I don't understand.
Discover enlightenment holding your hand. You are.
You are.
So beautiful'

It's always a wonderful thing to see life in somebody. That's how you remember them the most i think.

Sorry she passed away.

*big hugs*
