This seemed like a really cool moment, one that lifted my spirits so high when it happened, but it was greatly underestimated by myself as to significance. The ability to have activity in any weather, for mom to take the proper lead in actual events and bring such warmth and light to the home has taken place almost every day since this discovery about 15 months ago. I’m still beyond grateful that this began– and continues.

My mother— who struggles with sentences– just announced to me that she wanted to play the piano. I just helped her there, thinking that placing her at her bench would feel good for her.
She is playing really well and I don’t want to wake up from this little dream. She hasn’t played in probably a decade. Music is amazing.
Love you mom. Your moments can still amaze me.
