It was a typical busy weekend for me, and I was in a patient's room trying to clean her up. When all of a sudden she slapped me across the face, and then in a soft Irish brouge started to yell at me. I stepped back as tears of frustration ran down my cheeks. This day was too much, first a nurse started to order me about like I was some sort of slave, and now this lady starts hitting me. I took a couple of deep breaths and started to sing to her. She looked at me as I picked up the wash cloth and scrubbed her down. When I finished I placed her in the chair and made her more comfortable, "How did you know to sing to her?" I turned, "I didn't I....." There standing in front of me was a blonde hair blue eyed gentleman I recognized him in an instant it was Keith Harkin.

"I didn't know. I just went on instinct." Keith smiled at me, "Thank you for taking such good care of my Grandma." I blushed. "Keith I didn't know you were coming. If I had known I would've cleaned the place up, and who is this young lady? Is this your girl friend?" He and I looked at each other and laughed, "No Grandma this is...." "I'm Heather I'm a C.N.A." Keith smiled, "Ahh a scottish name." As I was about to reply. I got paged, "Heather call the desk Heather call the desk. I excused myself.

The weekend came and went and I was soon faced with Monday. My last day and then I was off for four whole days. It was then that I found out Keith's Grandmother was going to a rehab facility and if all went well back to Ireland. I had just finished taking care of my last patient. When Keith appeared before me, he was grinning from ear to ear as he came up to me, "Heather my Granmother is being transfered to a rehab facility and I just wanted to say thank you for all your kindness. How can I thank you for all that you have done?" I looked at him and I thought, "A big kiss would be thanks enough." Instead I said, "You just did, but if you really want to you can write to the CEO of the hospital." He smiled at me and then gave me a wink. I had just come back from my four days off. Feeling refreshed I got my report from last night's shift, and just as I was about to go to work. The charge nurse called me to the desk and handed me an envelope.

I took the envelope from the charge nurse, and opened it, Oh great now what? I thought to myself as I opened it. Inside was a note:
Dear Heather, Thanks again for taking such good care of my Grandmother. She thanks you very much for singing to her, and she told me that you have a wonderful voice. I agree with her. You told me that you didn't want or need anything, which I feel is not fair. So inside this envelope is a pair of tickets and backstage passes to the show. Please come by afterwards so we can play some music and sing some songs.
With Warm Affection, Keith Harkin Celtic Thunder.
I Nearly fainted at the last part as I took out the tickets. The show was for Tuesday evening. Cool I couldn't wait to tell my husband, so I called him on my work phone and told him all about it. He grumbled something about him being busy and hung up. I put the envelope in my purse and placed my purse in my locker. Next I locked it, and went on with my day.

My three days came and went, and then it was the day of the concert. My husband knew exactly what to wear and he looked so nice in his pants and polo shirt. I on the other hand was frazzled about what to wear. I wanted to wear something nice, but on the other hand I didn't want to under dress either, so I choose a nice white skirt with sandals and beige tank top with lace on around the neck and straps. Next I put on my make up, as my husband did one of his wolf whistles. I grabbed one of my good purses and we went to the theater. When we got there the usher asked us for our tickets, but when I opened my purse they weren't there.

My husband looked in his jacket pocket, but he couldn't find them. While he was doing this the people behind us were getting inpatient, so we moved to the side. All the while my husband gave me dirrty looks, "I can't believe you forgot the tickets, and Iam not about to drive all the way back to our house to get them." I just looked at him with tears in my eyes when I heard the usher/ security came up to us, "Mr and Mrs. Smith? Will you come with me please?" My husband gave me another dirty look

My husband gave me another dirty look as we were escorted to the dressingrooms. The security guard knocked on the door and a voice from the other side said enter. The Guard opened the door and my husband and I came in. Standing there in their costumes were The Lads. Keith stood up and shook my hand and then my husband's, "Heather meet Damien, Neil, Paul, Ryan, and George. AKA Celtic Thunder. Lads this is the lady that took care of my Grandmother. She also has a very nice voice. " I blushed at the compliment as the boys came up to me to shake my hand. Then there was a knock on the door "5 minutes to curtain guys." So they all grabbed me and we walked towards the stage, and my husband was escorted to his seat in the front row. The boys went on with me in tow. As the curtain went up I was going to sneak away, but Keith had other ideas.

There I stood frozen in fear. A part of me wanted to go running off the stage, but I was too scared to move. As the boys made their introductions. The music played and Keith started to sing "I Wanna Know What Love is." One of the lads brought me a stool and a microphone to sing into. I looked at Keith and in a frightened voice I sang. He smiled at me and gave me a wink. After the song ended he made his introductions, "Ladies and Gentlemen usually I sing this song solo, but tonight I wanted to do it a little differently. When my Grandmother was sick and in the hospital this Lady took care of her, and she sang to her, even tho' my Grandmother hit her. Her name is Heather." I slowly felt the blush creep up into my cheeks as I heard the people clapping. Then I heard a loud beeping noise it was my alarm clock going off, "Rats." I thought to myself, "It was just a dream."
