Thank you, Suleika, for enriching my life. I am inspired by your writing, your painting, and your generous spirit. My husband and I met Jon on Feb. 20, 2024 after his concert in Denver. We live in Albuquerque but decided to travel to Denver for his concert (and to see our daughter, son-in-law, and new grandson). After I responded to an email about Jon's concert schedule a few months before, we were notifed that we would be "VIP" guests, which included a private visit with Jon after the concert. What a treat! When we were invited into the room, I told Jon I was a huge fan of his wife, and he responded exuberantly, "I'm a huge fan of her too!" Jon was humble, kind, and sincere, and we have a fabulous photo with him that we included in our Christmas letter. Now, we are coming to Chicago to your book tour event on April 24th (Row E, seats 17, 18). I'm excited that I will get to attend your event in person, and see Jon again. I'm very excited!
Hi Suleika... I am a big fan of your writing and, of course Jon's music. I am a music therapist that works in a hospital setting, including in-patient oncology, using music to help those working through their cancer journeys. I write about my work and the incredible stories that come out of my sessions with these incredible people on my Substack. Just thought I would share. Thank you for all you do.
