A Huge Hit
When Noah got hit with that mic stand, I thought for sure we’d have to cancel the concert. Patrick immediately accused Noah of being a coward and disappointing hundreds of people. Although I tried to convince him that it wasn’t Noah’s fault, Patrick was furious at his father for refusing to perform. Fortunately, my mom stepped in and came up with a brilliant plan. Noah and Eli worked together and made the concert a success. Of course it wouldn’t have happened at all without my mom. While I’m sad to see her go, I have a feeling she’ll be back soon.

I, too, will miss Anna and hope she returns for you. Nothing like having your mom around for support. I also like Anna with Patrick's dad, Noah, and hope they can rekindle something when she returns. You and Patrick love each other and can deal with Noah and Anna together. You just did this past visit.

I have to hand it to Noah, he really rocked the house. It was obvious you and everyone else had a great time. Patrick and Noah are both really stubborn, but thanks to you, they had that wonderful moment. It's obvious they love each other very much. The stuff your mom said on-stage was beautiful too, and I have just as much faith as she does that this will all lead to a cure. I'm sure you'll see her again soon.

Robin, you mom will always be there for you! She is never far, so don't worry. I am so glad that the Lifebeat concert went so well! Anna, Noah, and Eli did a great job! I loved the show! I know Patrick and Noah have their issues and maybe Patrick felt like his father was bailing on him again, but you helped him see that Noah was just nervous and came through just fine. Patrick has had a hard time dealing with his father after his mother died. I'm glad he has you now in his life and make it better for him and even Noah, too!

Yes, that was a HUGE hit. Not the mic but of Noah performing along with th help of Eli. You could tell Eli was having fun and approved of Noah's performance. And those band members, from the drummer, keyboardist and other guitar dudes, they sure helped Noah make a SMASH hit!

Your mother may have accomplished more, you both must realize. Anna will return, you can bet on it. Who knows what surprise her return may bring next time?

I am so glad the concert was a big hit. I knew it would be. Now you should concentrate on you and Patrick.

Such a selective memory, Robin. Before he got hit with the mic, Noah was trying to get out of performing. Patrick's accusations were not wrong. Anna talked Noah into it. Anyway, I'm glad you got to visit with your mom. She's fabulous.

I'm sorry to see Anna go as well but I'm sure she'll be back again to see you. You are a smart, strong woman. I can't ever see you allowing a man to treat you with anything other than respect but still you remain with Patrick. Why, Robin, when you deserve so much better?

Robin, I feel that you had no doubt about Noah being a hit and I'm glad that you were there to help Patrick realize that his father needed him to believe in him to perform. Patrick seems to have given Noah hope in their relationship. And on a happier note, you are definitely your mother's daughter. It is easy to see where you get your determination.

Hey, Robin! That show was absolutely fabulous! I cannot say enough about how HOT, yes, mucho caliente that Noah Drake was strutting his stuff across that stage, and the pipes weren't half bad either, I might add! I am still thinking about this concert! I think that Noah is even more of a stud muffin than his progeny, Patrick, but the apple still didn't fall too far from the tree. Well, on that note, I must dash but it was brilliant and cheers all around!
