A few words from one of our Million Sisters.

I just felt the need to share this with you. Our friend Tiff, with whom we traveled to Omaha, Champaign, and  Des Moines - and who wrote the awesome cruise recap for us, was at the Dallas and Houston shows (with Lisa and Peggy, two more of our "sisters"). She had this to say about the clip that we posted yesterday of the guys after I'll Be Loving You Forever. Big thanks to the person who caught that moment on camera.

Much of the show up to this point had included a lot of fun and pranks.  The
guys were on fire, and the crowd was on fire (lol. I sound like DW…) We shed
some tears during some of the other ballads and during "5 brothers" (Joe was
incredible), but mostly it was a hell of a fun show.

This clip, however, was right after IBLYF.  The crowd was prepared with LED
candles that we "lit" at the beginning (at one point I turned around – it
was a marvelous sight.)  Jordan sang his heart out.  Back in the day IBLYF
was a love song, but today the lyrics are just so appropriate…

In the video that Melissa found (right after the song ended), the guys look
like they're smiling in the video, but tears were streaming down their
faces.  I don't know if she got many shots of the guys' faces contorting,
but they did – every one of them was crying.  A couple of them were crying
hard enough to be purple in the face (Jon in particular)…  We were all
sobbing messes in the crowd.  I couldn't even cheer – no noise would come
out of my throat… All I could do was hold a candle in one hand, and my
friends in the other!  It was a long break in the show; long enough to
really think about how much all of our lives have changed in the past year.
It was a moment of shared appreciation and love for the incredible journey
we've all been on.

I just really felt the need to put that into context.  That song is my
favorite part of every show, and on Saturday night it was poignant.  For all
of you who couldn't be there, I just want you to know that I thought of each
of you.  I am really not doing a great job of putting this experience into
words, but I'll never forget that moment as long as I live.

Thanks Tiff.
