I’d like to tell you a little about my niece Hannah. Hannah and her twin sister Catherine were born in Russia. Their mother was a 17 year old crack addict who abandoned them immediately. So their first two years were spent between an orphanage and hospitals.
My brother and sister in-law could not have children and it was suggested that they adopt a child from Russia. So, they flew to Russia. When they arrived at the orphanage they saw Hannah and Catherine and knew they couldn’t separate them, so they adopted them both. All the while knowing that because of their birth mother there would be a series of corrective surgeries on the feet and jaw line and coping with some learning disabilities with one sister.
About two years ago I married their aunt Jodi and they entered my life. Apparently the girls for whatever reason have not had a close relationship with their other aunts and uncles. So when I came on the scene with my love of KISS, motorcycles and giving them some well deserved attention, I became “Cool Uncle Stevo”.
Hannah dug into my Kiss CD’s, DVD’s and my Kisstory book and became an instant fan. She would always ask me “when are we going to see Kiss?” and I’d say when they are in Ohio we’ll go.
Well today was the day. I joined the Kiss Army a few months ago to prepare for any pre-sales in Ohio. I wanted to do something special for Hannah since this will be her first ever rock concert and bought the VIP packages. She is absolutely thrilled. She is hoping and praying that our seats are picked for the upgrade to meet and greet status.
Regardless of the outcome, I know she’ll be thrilled with the experience, so we both are keeping our fingers crossed. Hannah has grown into a bright, beautiful, teenager and I want to make this event special for her. By her going to see the concert I know it will be a moment she will never forget.
Her mother is driving her up from Lynchburg, Virginia to Cincinnati, Ohio and then from there its off to Cleveland for the 28th show.
Oh yeah, our seats are section 2, row G, seats 10-11…lol
