Yesterday I was in tears, watching my older daughter at her children's choir performance, singing, dancing and enjoying herself. I was not crying because she had trouble singing the African words or keeping up with the African dance moves, both of which were complicated at times. I was crying because she did both, the singing and the dancing, so well. This experience gave me a taste of what life could be like for her in the future and it moved me profoundly. I am so grateful for the opportunity my daughter has to learn these skills in a safe and supportive atmosphere. Life is not usually easy for her. Yesterday it was beautiful and I saw it.
