I'm proud of my

DAUGHTER.

She wanted to participate

in the local

"talent show"

{otherwise known as

the 'Stars of Tomorrow'

sponsored by the Kiwanis club}

I so did NOT want

her to do this,

for reasons I will keep

locked away

deep in my heart.

I had a few piano students

that I had entered,

Because it's good practice
to play in front of an
audience.

If my daughter played,

I would have to

be her

accompanist.

I didn't like that.

She begged.

She pleaded.

She finally cried.

I asked what her motivation was.

The money?

Hmm.

Nice perk.

She wanted to be able

to stand among

those she lives with,

and show what she's made of.

To show what she's capable of.

To share what she believes in.

This was part of what was hard for me.

I caved.

I'm so glad I did.
