Unforgettable

We've been real busy around here - hockey games, tournaments and now into dance competitions.  Which brings me to this blog…hmmmm.

Our daughter dances competitively - well, semi-competitively actually.  But it is a busy comp schedule even if her troupe is in only one dance.  We still attend all the competitions that the studio is in.  Yesterday we watched the showcase - that is all the competitive routines that the studio has and is presenting around town over the next 2 months.  Wow!!  It was amazing to see the talent of these young people.

Although Naomi's was one of my favourite routines - a jazz number set to I've Got the Music in Me, I found the Contemporary routines to be moving.  Pure, raw emotion set to dance.  We watched a routine set to a spoken word poem - and I got teary.  The words, the narration - resonated within me.  "To This Day" by Shane Koyczan is unforgettable.  I watched it again today (on the link below) and I really bawled.  Any mom who has ever doubted herself will be able to relate to a certain line in this poem.  And hey, I cry when I read Hallmark cards.

I've attached a link to the website - well worth the time if you have a chance.

Maybe it'll move you too.
