Where words fail, music speaks.

At 4:00pm a very sleepy Brendan stumbled off the bus from school. One of the aides on the bus, who is also an aide in his classroom, shared that Brendan was happy the entire day at school. As the bus pulled away from the curb, Brendan looked at it wistfully. After assuring him it would be back in the morning, he smiled at me and walked to the house.
Upon entering his room he happened on a package that had arrived that afternoon from Nana… a new bodhran! He grinned from ear to ear and began playing. Then he brought it to the living room to share the music with the rest of us.
A big thank you to Nana from Brendan for capping a terrific day!
Music, because of its specific and far-reaching metaphorical powers,
can name the unnamable and communicate the unknowable.

I know today was difficult for you and it happened so fast but when you see that look on his face I know that you know it was all worth it. Brendan is lucky to have a mama like you who will put the hurts of the past aside and give him the chance to spread his wings and fly. :o) I'm so glad his day went well. First day of school and presents? Score!
Thank you, beautiful friend.
