Team Luke, I am trying very hard to make a dream come true, one that has fallen apart many times for me. I'll be lucky enough to see Luke live in my hometown on 9/1/16. I am undergoing some major medical and financial issues, and Luke’s music is the one thing that brings me so much joy in my life. If you could just read my experience from one of his shows last year, it would mean so much! Thank You! I have tried forwarding this letter on to others who maybe can help, with little success. I understand that you are very busy and I don’t expect a response. If you think of the right person to forward it on to, that would be much appreciated. I spend so much time helping other people, being that I am a Registered Nurse. I love putting a smile on others faces in their greatest times of stress or just when they need a hand to hold, and rarely do ask for things for myself, but this one wish comes from the bottom of my heart. In someway, I am hoping to make my dream happen..and I thank you for just taking time to read this. I am very sorry to bother you, I know you are extremely busy. You will find my original letter below. Heather Hadsock hadsockh@gmail.com Cell:(704) 519-5803 Team Luke, if you get a moment could you please read my story? It would mean so much! All I want in 2016 is this wish.....thank you! I completely understand that there is probably nothing that can be done and no worries If you know of someone to pass this on to, it would mean the world! Thank you!💕 My name is Heather Hadsock and I live in Charlotte, NC. Back in January, I wrote a special letter to Luke Bryan, that was seen by Cabelas CEO Tommy Milner, who is one of country music artists Luke Bryan's tour sponsors. It was sent on to one of Luke's tour sponsor representatives, Liz Duggan. I received a phone call from her in January 2015 stating that I would be receiving two tickets to his Kick The Dust Up Tour and be able to attend a meet and greet and meet the guy who has made my life so cheerful for the past years, Luke Bryan. Luke came to my home city on 9/24/15. For those 8 months before, I told everyone how my dream was coming true. I was ECSTATIC! You see, I spend a majority of my time in the hospital with a heart condition and a variety of issues that I don't let limit me. I have what's called POTS Syndrome. I was born extremely premature, weighing 2 pounds, and due to that, have many medical issues and spent a lot of my life in & out. I've had 7 surgeries over the past 2 years alone. Doctors are not sure what my future holds, but I live each day to its fullest. Luke's music always brings me out of such a dark place. It is my MEDICINE. Recently, doctors found a suspicious spot on one of my lungs. I am trying to remain positive and live each day to the fullest, regardless of outcomes. I picked a very special friend to go with me *we were brought together thanks to Luke's music* and she also was beyond excited! 2 Days before the concert, I get an email from Liz stating that there would be no meet and greet, but my friend and I would be able to attend the VIP pre show. My heart broke. I told everyone this was happening and turns out...it wasn't. I told Liz that I was disappointed and she called me ungrateful, which I did not mean to be in the LEAST. I was just shocked that after 8 months of excitement, everything just fell apart. We arrived in the pouring down rain at the show to check in for VIP. Turns out they only had one wristband, my friend wasn't able to be with me at all. I was dripping wet, no friend, and ended up having a beer spilled down the front of me to top it off. I ended up crying seeing Luke. The VIP was an amazing experience I am truly grateful for. My friend ended up angry at me, thinking I was lying about this whole thing. She bought a separate seat from me and I ended up watching the whole show alone. I sang my heart and still had so much fun, couldn't believe I was seeing Luke in person. After the show I ended up back in hospital, but told everyone about how much fun I had seeing Luke. The show was SO much fun to experience! I was surprised by a dear friend with tickets to Luke's Farm Tour in Columbia, SC that was 10/1/15.. I would give anything to hug Luke and tell him thank you for everything he has done for me, without even knowing. I found out about Cabela's giving m&g passes to those wearing 32 Bridge apparel. A Team Luke friend from Canada even made me a pair of 32 Bridge underwear as a joke to bring so I could be chosen. LOL! This one dream means so much to me. I had my Columbia tickets....maybe somehow I would get my chance. The night before the show, I ended up admitted to the hospital. My dream once again was crushed. I cried myself out of tears. I feel like no matter what I do, that this one thing will never happen for me. I know so many people have this same wish...I just hope it can happen somehow. I saw that Luke's 2016 Kill The Lights Tour with Little Big Town and Dustin Lynch began in February and is coming to Charlotte on September 1st, 2016. I'd give anything to meet all of y'all! Your music truly is my medicine! Due to medical bills, financially it isn't possible for me to travel to see Luke, although I would give anything to travel to a show further away than my hometown. I do not get the chance to have much real fun...and when I do, I make memories I'll never forget. All of my dear Luke Bryan Nuthouse fan club member friends won the chance to meet Luke, but not me. I know my time has to come eventually. The lyrics to one of his songs keep me going....they are my anthem: "All you can do is just keep going And thank God for what you have....... Keep chuggin' along Keep singin' your song Put that plow in the ground 'till the daylight's gone When you look back over your shoulder At everything you've done Put the good times in your pocket Let the bad ones make you strong And keep chuggin' along" I appreciate you reading.....thank you!
