La Canada Presbyterian Church

While we sang Love Never Fails, I started to tear up

why?

because the girl who sings next to me always has her parents watch almost every performance. I couldn't help but think that my family, let alone my mom, has not seen any of my bel canto performances.

growing up, my mom was never the "soccer mom", the mom who goes out of her way to watch her kid and really wants to see them without force. I understand that she's busy with work or tired from work... but it would be nice to see a face in the crowd.

I'm probably over exaggerating because my mom has seen me perform on stage. I should at least give her credit for that.

for some reason, at that moment, singing the chorus brought me to tears. she wasn't there to witness how amazing and beautiful it was. I love singing that song. and it made me think "man, I wish my mom was here"

right when I got in the car, I told my mom how I felt about her not being there and she said, "I'll go to the next performance, when is it?"

I pray that she goes and sees us perform
It'll mean so much to me
