If you remember a little while back (right at the beginning of this blog) I was able to see my youngest son & my wife in A Christmas Carol. Being allowed to see that re-energized me.
Tonight was just the same thing. Tonight was my oldest son's turn to help pull me out of a bit of a hole.
Opening night of Guys & Dolls and what an opening it was. My son sang, he acted, he danced with <gulp> girls....AND HE TAP DANCED!
But most of all, he laughed, he smiled and he had a great time. My son was doing something he loved and I got to see it. What a wonderful way to spend a Thursday night. What a wonderful night to be alive.
Tomorrow we get to do it all over again, only tomorrow Gigi (grandma) will be here to see the play.
The grandparents don't live near us, so it is a special treat when they get to see the kid,s and even MORE special when they get to see something like one of kids in a play. It is always a good time, and I know my son will be so happy to see his Gigi in the audience.
This recovery has been a long trip so far & really I am just pulling out of the proverbial driveway, but when nights like this happen it becomes so much easier to take care of myself, to eat good foods, to take my plethora of medicines, and to remember why God has seen fit to let me stick around for a little longer.
As I said on day one, this is a thank you effort. With that in mind, thank you to all of you still reading along, and THANK YOU to the wonderful medical professionals who made it possible for me to be here to see tonight.
Here are a couple of pictures from Guys & Dolls at the Creative Drama Children's Theater....the best children's theater group around.
Great post Craig!!
