This is not the best photo but it does allow me to post it here since everyone is unrecognizable. My goddaughter was in her school musical, Beauty and the Beast, last night. The sold-out show was great fun. Of course, some of the lines from the play are hilarious but every once in awhile a serious one creeps in such as the quote here. My dear one is in her graduating year and this will be a highlight I am sure. She was flying high after the show, giddy with the success. She was one of the silly girls and as I watched her afterwards, I could not help but think it was a suitable part.
Her journey has been a long one but the successful closure of high school is in sight. With her parents and godparents in the audience to cheer her on, she shone brightly. It is a joy to have accompanied her through her many achievements. We were joking that the last time she was on that particular stage, she was five years old and dressed as a duck for her dance recital. I had been there too. She has come a long way since that yellow costume. Her hair in curls and her lips a blazing red, she looked all grown up last night. She was a beautiful young woman who had tamed her inner beasts for this event. Hope is indeed one of the greatest gifts we will receive.
Peace,
Suzanne
