I’ve never cared much for Steve Wonder’s music… it’s just not my cup of tea, as they say. But I might just have to go buy an album after reading this story:

My wife works at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta on the AFLAC Cancer Center. One of her patients is Leo, an 18-year-old kid with terminal cancer, and his dad told her early on that Leo is a huge Stevie Wonder fan.

Beth (the wife) works with Rock Against Cancer, and through their local volunteer and the Atlanta NBC station, she got in touch with Stevie’s management ahead of the concert he played here last night. Leo and his family got to meet with Stevie before the show, and not only did Stevie walk out and dedicate the show to Leo, he brought the kid out onstage, sat him down on the piano bench next to him, and kept him there the entire show. We were up on the lawn (the Ampitheater at Encore Park in Alpharetta), and you could literally see the grin on the kid’s face from way back there. They also had dinner together after the show.

Wonder also hung out with the kid after the show. What a class act.

Oh, and don’t worry, I’ve contacted the writer about his illegal use of The Wife^®, which as you can see, is a registered trademark of mine.
