Kay and I had the most magnificent experience yesterday. We attended the spring concert of the Plymouth, New Hampshire Pemigewasset Choral Society in which my daughter, Amey, sings alto. The program was "Elijah plus..." and featured selections from Mendelsson's Opera. I was excited to hear Amey sing two oratorios as part of an octet. The second half of the concert was devoted to lighter fare and included springtime numbers; but "Turn the World Around" by Harry Belafonte was very special as the chorus clapped and danced along with drum and piano.
I was totally enthralled and spellbound to be part of the audience and bursting with pride. My daughter graduated from Plymouth State University 18 years ago and the director of the concert yesterday, was her choral professor when she was a student. How amazing to have her come full circle.
The fact that it was also Mothers' Day was significant because both my children never fail to honor Kay with a special card. Ever since Kay and I became partners in life, they have looked upon her as a quasi-mother and it does my heart good to see their devotion to her as well as their appreciation for all she does for me.
