My Mo

Morgan had her 3rd grade concert tonight at the school and it brought tears to my eyes. It was a 2nd/3rd grade combined concert, so my guess is she was probably one of the oldest out of 100 kids. (She definitely was the tallest.) But to see her up there so pretty, singing her heart out, was just so touching. The song the children sang that got me the hardest was John Denver's 'Country Roads'. As I watched her up there during that song, it hit me how precious of a soul she is and how I really need to work on my temper with her. For some reason, maybe because she's my "middle child", but for some reason she and I butt heads too frequently, and it makes me sad. She is so very precious and seeing her up there tonight *shining* hit me like a ton of bricks. She is too precious for me to lose my temper with. I will work on that. You readers are now my witnesses to that new goal. We, as mothers, often need to be reminded of the value of our children and how truly wonderful they are. They are gifts and WE are the blessed ones to have THEM. I truly feel blessed to have my Morgan in my world.
On the way home from the concert, it was just the three of us in the car, Morgan, Martin and myself. He and I were praising her and complimenting her on a job well done tonight and telling her she has a gift of song. She has been blessed with a voice of an angel, REALLY! We asked her to sing two of the songs they performed earlier and she did...perfectly. It brought such a sweet spirit into the car. This child, as Randy Jackson on American Idol would say, has perfect pitch!! I want her to sing for the world. I am just so proud of her.
