WIN!

I just got back from Em’s school talent show. Her number of background singers/dancers had swelled from the original two to six or maybe eight. I wasn’t really focused on them at the time so I’ll have to go to the video to check for sure.

So how’d she do? She knocked it out of the park. We’ll work on getting the video internetified later so you can see for yourself.

This kid couldn’t say the word “no” at age three. Today she’s eleven, and on the last day of primary school, she coordinated an act, recruited accomplices, got on stage with a microphone and danced and sang with total confidence.

Parents of the newly diagnosed: I mean it when I say that you never know where life will take you. I have no idea what the future holds, but today is proof that anything is possible. And that my daughter is awesome – but we always knew that.

    I am so excited! That’s amazing! I’ve always believed theater and the arts can completely transform lives. I love hearing about Em, and I can’t wait to see the video. What a great job you’ve done being supportive and open to possibilities for her, instead of trying to keep her “safe” and away from risk. Risk is where the growing happens. Yay!

    Way to GO EM!!

    Y’all have done awesome together – she is where she is b/c you’ve been there to make sure she had every resource possible to help her get herself to this point.

    That’s just fantastic. I was thinking about Em today and hoping her act went well. And I’m grinning now just reading this.
