On Monday, I got a call from a girl named Rachel who told me a great story about her mom's birthday, her love of The Beatles and a twist of fate that will put them side-by-side for Lubbock's Paul McCartney concert.

Rachel's mom celebrates her birthday Friday, October 3. For her birthday present, her husband went on Craigslist in a last-ditch effort to get her tickets to see Paul McCartney. He found ONE ticket. She was upset that she wasn't going to be able to take her daughter to the show. Well, the husband went back to Craigslist and was lucky enough to find ANOTHER ticket!

Here's where the serendipitous part comes in: The second ticket that he randomly found was RIGHT NEXT to the other one! Mom and daughter would be going to see Sir Paul after all!

I interviewed Rachel this morning about the happy series of events. Here's what she had to say:

Rachel wrote the letter below to Paul in an effort to encourage him to sing "Birthday" to her mom, Stacy. Let's see if we can get Paul's attention with this touching story! Please share this link anywhere you can before the concert tonight. It's a long shot, but hey, you never know.
