Piano Recital

We had our end of the year piano recital this last Saturday evening. The kids have practiced and practiced and practiced. They all did so well. They were excited to have grandparents there with them. Isabella and Zech have come a long way and both are playing very well. Sarah is so beautiful when she plays. She looks so grown up and just graceful when she was playing her pieces that she had memorized. I'm so proud of all of them.

We had our last piano lesson on Tuesday and she gave them assignments for the summer. The kids and I are praying this summer as to what to do next year for music. I would love for Sarah to continue playing piano but I want them all to have opportunity for anything else they want to pursue. I'll keep you updated on what they decide.

On another more personal note, one thing I observed while I was at the recital was a husband and wife. Not your usual husband and wife though, but truly the kind you want to encounter and hope you will be. You see she is in a wheelchair and obvious that she has had some sort of brain surgery. She has been left handicapped and mentally altered because of this surgery she has had, but he was right by her side. Bringing her to their daughters piano recital, holding her hand, paying every attention to details for her. He loved her no matter what! I don't know him or her or their child, but I do know that when he made his promise to her, 'to have and to hold till this day forward in sickness and in health' he meant it! Thank you to them for showing me an example of a wonderful commitment!
