Garth Brooks Is In Bed With My Daughter

[gshase]

Well the whole family. Some may know my daughter has C.F. and is in the hospital again. On my way up to her room yesterday, Kenny, a young black boy in a wheel chair tells me he got a T shirt signed by Garth Brooks, Says he is a huge fan and he just got to meet Garth. He also said Garth was leaving the hospital. I thought that was cool.
I make it up to my daughters room and tell her about Garth. She says, DAD I would love to see Garth. What can you do? I say OK and start out looking for Garth. Kenny mentioned what part oh the hospital he was in and I head that way. I see several Security Officers and a sweet lady standing by a closed door. The lady ask if I needed anything and I said My daughter would love to see Garth. She tells me Garth is in a meeting and when he gets out he planned on making a few visits. She ask for my daughters room # and name, saying they will try to see her.
I make it to our room and tell her he might stop by.
Less than 1 hour later Garth is outside room 5413 putting on a gown and gloves. My daughter is so happy to see him. Mr Brooks stayed with my daughter for 40 minutes. We talked about everything under the sun. My daughter is being hooked up with back stage passes to any show she wants to see at Billy Bobs Texas.
Garth tells us about Kenny, states he is a cowboy and loves to ride horses and is really into Country music. I hope to meet Kenny again some day.

Very cool story, but somewhat odd thread title.

What a cool thing to do. You're a good dad for pursuing it and Brooks is a good guy for doing it.

Very, very cool. Everything indicates that he's a good dude, and puts on a fantastic show. I don't consider myself to be a country fan, but we'll go see him if he starts touring again.

Really nice of him and great pic. (There are some good folks in this world.)

Hope you daughter is doing better soon. Pretty young lady.

[creaturecat]

My wife and I are friends with some people who handle Target's advertising. They have been in charge of commercial shoots with Garth. They say that he is the most genuinely friendly, down to earth and understanding person.

There was one shoot that went hours beyond schedule, deep into a rainy night. It was the worst of all worlds. He had to stand in the rain while technicians worked to fix something that wasn't his fault. As things kept going wrong and the night kept getting later, he stood there getting colder by the minute the producers were worried he'd have a meltdown, or at least take time to get warm and dry out a little. He couldn't have been more gracious. He said that he knew that if he didn't stand in his spot where they needed him, the shoot couldn't progress and none of the hundred or so people working there could go home. So he wasn't going to take a break and delay everyone. There were a lot of grateful people that night.

What a treat for your daughter. Good for her. Outstanding display of compassion by Brooks.

It is nice to see a star who is willing to take some time out of his day to brighten someone else's day. A good example for others to follow. Best wishes to your daughter and your family in the future.

So you are essentially saying that you are not aware that "Cold Fort Worth beer just ain't no good for jealous."

Great story! I hope your daughter is feeling better!

[Gooch1971]

It's so nice to hear stories like this. Best of luck to your daughter and good for Garth.

What really impresses me is that he spent 40 minutes in her room! As I started reading I was expecting him to be in and out 5 minutes or less. Very cool.
