I love your writing of this story. Those arms plowing through the curtain to bring her back to the reality of backstage life. A moment in the spotlight!
What a loving recounting of this family tale, Sharon. I can just see her in front of that curtain and those arms reaching out. Hilarious. She is the sweetest of girls - cheerful, intelligent, self-sacrificing. She has a great mother.
Every family has "lore" - stories we tell over and over because they are so funny or touching. These stories become chapters in our family history book. Mama was great for retelling a story a thousand times. We loved it.
What a special birthday memory! I also remember our daughters at 2 and 4 being so darned cute at their ballet recitals, such darlings, for sure. And yours such a stand-out, way to be proud indeed, dear mom!
Just a great tonic post-tornado-storms here!
So charming! Happy birthday to your lovely daughter💝
So sweet! Thank you, Yael!
Awww thanks Mom
You are 𝙨𝙤 welcome, my birthday girl! ☀️💞
Sweet Mom memories are true treasures❤️
Thank you, Deborah! The older I am, the more pleasure I get from these memories. They 𝙖𝙧𝙚 treasures of the heart.
What a wonderful memory. I'm sure it plays back better in memory than it ever could on tape.
Thank you, K.C.! It is one of our favorites!

Thank you, Sharron, for your comment, and your compliment! She is, indeed, the sweetest, and we love all of her growing-up stories.

We did! I sure miss her voice, but I can hear it so clearly, in my mind.

Thanks, Sue! It was a very special night! "Me And My Shadow" was a big hit, but I think that little girl stole the show! xo

Thanks, Linda! Yes, I always enjoyed my nieces' recitals, and then it was Kathryn's turn. Those little ones sure know how to capture your heart!
Thank you for restacking, GeorgeAnn! 💕
