I had already had a full day planned of work because I have a second job cleaning a local business. This was all taking place 3 hours away, less then 24 hours later. Thankfully, I found a show in New Hampshire THE NEXT DAY at 4:00pm.

I knew this was going to be a shot in the dark but I also knew I had to try. So as I sat in the back seat, I dug into my phone and worked tirelessly to find another Kidz Bop show nearby. He was resolute, calm and lovingly reminding me and Nenny (his name for Janelle) that 'It was okay Moms.' That made us want to fix the situation even more. Our lives revolve around him, and we strive to make the most of our time together, cherishing every second.įunny enough, Bentley took this like a champ. While missing a concert might not appear significant or profound to others, for me, as a co-parent who doesn't have my child every day, every moment with Bentley holds immense value. We both shed a couple tears as I held him on the way home and then this Mama got to work. That for whatever reason us being there was not meant to be. I climbed into the back seat and explained to my amazing 6 year old that sometimes things happen in life that suck. Little did we know at that moment, but later on discovered that we were actually meant to miss that show. Normally, Janelle and I both are meticulous about timing and organizing events. I couldn't help but wonder how I had made such a mistake? It seemed so unlike me. That is when I had to do what a lot of parents dread, let their child down.īeing a parent to me means dedicating your heart and soul to your child's happiness, and in that instance, I felt like I had let him down.

We had arrived too late and we missed the entire thing.

My wife, Janelle and I then pulled over, did some digging and realized we had the wrong time for the show. 'We are LEAVING Kidz Bop, the show just ended.' I rolled my window down and asked a parent if they were going to Kidz Bop and the words she said back were devastating. As we got closer to the venue we saw a large amount of people walking away from the theatre.
