So thoughtful and honest. Thank you for sharing this experience. I wish my parents had reacted your way to my “failures”….it took a lot of time, effort and therapy 😂 to learn that beauty can be found on the “lose some” side of life. And life is all the richer for it. Well done Mama!👏🏼👏🏼

Thanks, Christy. I wish your parents had reacted differently, too. It's such a challenge. Glad you are putting in the time to heal and move forward. Thanks for reading <3

Thank you for sharing this story! It’s inspiring in every way. I didn’t have that kind of support as a kid learning piano. Those tender moments with your daughter over ice cream— wow. The loses count as much as the wins. And yes for soul growth. That’s the one thing we carry long after the wins happen. The growth produces a richer, more meaningful life. A truly lovely piece, thank you!
