over and over and over again
my friend,
there's no end
to the music...
These are some of the words from a song by Carole King, I think. Loved that song! I need to go find it.. And all my piano students' pieces are ringing over and over again in my head. My recital was last night. All the kiddos were AMAZING, FANTASTIC, INCREDIBLE, FABULOUS,...you get the picture. They all had on their Sunday Christmas best. They gave me hugs. I hugged them back. I wanted to hug all the parents, incredible parents! and g-parents. The students were so proud. I was so proud. Everyone was proud. Everyone cheered, and I mean REALLY cheered for everyone else. I had just as much fun watching the parents as I did the kids. I had tears in my eyes the whole time. I couldn't believe how hard they had all worked and that all that hard worked paid BIG TIME! I love you my kiddos! Thank you for doing such a great job!
And Santa came. Who knew? He, K, I mean she, played Sleighride with me. I love that Santa. She's my first cuz and we have been the best of friends forEVER! We lined her up with one of Ron's best friends so we have been great couple friends for..well, a really long time. She lives to serve other people. Love you Krissy!
And my sweet Ron and Curtis came to support me. Really? What 17 yr old goes to their mom's piano recital? Icing on the cake, I sat at the piano and played for Curtis while he sang and sang when we got home. Perfect night if you ask me.
So, grab those CD's, crank up the stereo...keep the music playing and playing and playing.
I had my Christmas last night!
It was SOOOO much fun! You are right, the kids did wonderful and it was fun to see all the parents beam because they were so proud! You are the BEST teacher! I couldn't ask for more! LOVE YOU!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sad to have missed it!! It sounds amazing! Wish I could have heard all your students- and especially you and Krissy! That is awesome you played Sleighride together. Even though I really liked our (or MY) rendition of Sleighride last year. Remember?
