I figured out what I was going to do with this Letter
This really is a great one for my b/c I have just the most amazing family of all time. I know, I’m probably just not too objective about this but I really do 😉 . They say a picture is worth a thousand words, well you can be the judge…
This is a video of our youngest. He was a ballet dancer and this was him as Romeo and he danced with what turned out to be his real life Juliet ♥️♥️… They are now married and have the most beautius little babies…
Next (and not in any particular order) is our only daughter the nurse and our beautiful granddaughters !!!!
Finally last but not least, there is Matthew & Hannah. They just had our #9th grand baby in December…
Those two met on the Ballet too. They are retired now and busy in their new roles as mom & dad to Mr. Oliver…
We are a family of artist’s…Each and everyone is just beyond talented…It was more of a challenge for the daughter, but that’s just how it is for girls. Every girl wants to be the prima ballerina and the guys have it I wouldn’t say easier. It’s just a different competition thing. Any way you look at it Ballet Dancing on a company is an extremely hard life. I feel so blessed to have had the opportunity to watch them all dance on a huge stage. The boys were on Joffrey in Chicago, Milwaukee Ballet, and then they both went out East and danced with Richmond Ballet.
We all use to do the community musical’s in the summer which was so much fun. We did Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamboat & Les Miserables…There were other’s too, I just don’t remember the names. Theater taught them so much about life, work, being the star and not being the star. It was a hard road, but it was very cool !!! Seeing your kids up on that stage…
I saved the best for last…This was at Matthew’s & Hannah’s Wedding. I always would tell Matthew that when I died, I knew I went to heaven if Patrick Swayze was there and I was dancing that song with him. The night before his wedding I asked him what was the song we were going to do the mom & son dance to. He said it was something I’d never heard of so I went on line and watched it so I would have some idea of how to dance to it. Below just gives me another chance to post this video, an incredible memory that I will never, ever forget. Thank you Matthew and Hannah for giving me that. I still smile when I watch it…
Family is not everything it’s the only thing. I love you guys !!! Thank you for picking me as your mom…
