Nice prose Noma! You have such good record and memory of all the accomplishment of your son. What a ...
Hi Ray Snow and Noma: thanks for your empathy. I just want to let you know how great one can remember one's parent. My mother was huge in her influence on me. And the memory - maybe it was just a little kindness on my mom's part - like giving me 5 or 10 dollars to fulfill my dream, how much I appreciated that love and support. When I remember her each day I still have tears in my eyes and I would make up songs to play on the piano to dedicate to her whenver I think of her. I remember after I played the piano for 1 - 2 year practising at my sister's school for 1 hour each day, she took money out of her own savings to buy me a piano so I can play at home. It cost close to 1600 dollars at the time. That was the most treasured gift from her as she saves money carefully and she worked hard every day even on Sunday ( only a half day rest each week - Sunday afternoon) and it was a big sum of money that she has to pay because my Dad did not want the noise of the piano in the house ( he was somewhat a guy's guy) and would not want to spend money to buy it . However after a while I think he enjoyed my playing. When he was old and lonely in the nursing home many years later in Edmonton and i visited him he loved to listen to me playing the piano for him when I visited him afte rmy mom died.
I feel I can always go to my mother if I want to learn something or want to do something. She gave me a lot of confidence because she actually listened to my wish and if my wishes were reasonable she will try in every way possible to let me puruse my interest. She does not overtake my life but I feel she is always on my side. I feel sad after she died because I cannot share with her anymore my accomplishments. I missed her very much.
My mom has a great influence on me, like I still remember she would subscribe a children's magazine book for me when I was 4 or 5 - so I develop the good habit of wanting to read stories and then I would re-tell the story to her standing up so it gave me confidence when I grew up to do public speaking competitions and I always won.
I just want to let you know you being such good parents will one day realize the seed you sow. Your children will remember you all the time - even little things - they will not forget. Your support to them means a lot to them - even when they are doing competition in sports or music or in school. And I see you are all doing that already. I see my mother in you all. That is why I like to share my stories.
And for Luvski even though April may not want to pursue it now, it does not matter. At least you have exposed her to music and piano and you never know when she might pick it up again. You have been a great mom and she will thank you for that, sometimes without your knowing.
