Laney's recital day! Oh, she looked so beautiful! Needless to say, I wept when she walked on stage, wept when she did her routine, wept as she walked off, and wept even more when she stood in the front row for the finale, where she sported the BIGGEST smile while she waved and bowed. It was one of the proudest days of my life. To watch her up there and know that she is exactly half of me, that she grew out of my own flesh. It is so amazing to see this perfect little person, with her own heartbeat, that was once inside of me, wholly me, yet separate from me. She is mine, belongs to me...and now she is becoming her own. What a mysterious and wonderful thing to watch. Of course, I must watch it through streaming tears! I felt like I was part of the last scene in a movie that leaves everyone with a warm feeling in their hearts.
Next week, she starts tap and hip-hop...oh boy!
