So, as we were waiting, my dad said, "I'm going to go
look at the other merch booth to see if there's anything
different over there." After a while, he came back to the
line where my mom and I were still waiting. I saw
something sticking out of his pocket and said to him,
"Hey, your keys are going to fall out of your pocket.”
And then, I reached in…and felt all of this confetti! He
had gone back down to the stage after the show and
scooped up a whole pile for me. I said, "You went back
and got me some confetti? Papa, you can't do that!" But
he did it anyway. I thought that was so cool. I later made
a picture collage with the confetti and framed it.

The entire show exceeded all my expectations. My first
thought as soon as the concert was over was "I want to
go again!” This was a night I will always treasure and
remember. I can't thank my mom and dad enough for
taking me to this historic show and sharing the
experience with me. I especially want to thank Sir Elton
John for being such an inspiration to me and warming
people's hearts all across the world with his amazing
songs. - Maret Wikle
