Kelly Hennessa a local teacher at Centreville High School and her son were in a terrible car accident last year in Virginia.

She was in a coma for two months, her son was in a coma for about a week.
To help Kelly recover while she was in the coma, Kelly’s husband Greg would play his wife’s favorite David Cassidy songs for her, especially “I Think I Love You.” He says he could see a small grin when he did.
It worked, she came out the coma.
Friends and family spread the word and David Cassidy’s managers got word and made her dream come true.
Sunday night, Kelly met David Cassidy before his show in Alexandria, Va.
This is the second time Kelly saw David Cassidy play live at the Birchmere.
