After the Symphony

I decided to start journaling for our little one. My mom did this for me and reading her entries as an adult is priceless. Here is an entry from awhile ago:

 Dear Baby,

 As I write this snow is falling and the ground is covered in sheets of white. Peer outside our window and it looks like a snow-globe. It is breathtaking. Your dad and I have never lived in a place where it snows like this, so this is not only your first blizzard, but ours as well. You are only 10 and a half weeks old but already this is one of the first things we will experience together as a family.

 I felt connected to you for the first time last night. Your dad and I went to the symphony after a delicious Thai food dinner (hopefully you will enjoy Asian food as much as we do!). The special guests were folk artists Joe Ungar and Molly Mason. I hadn’t heard music like that in quite sometime-the kind of music that makes your heart swell and brings tears to your eyes. I thought of you, especially when they played this beautiful song called “Harvest Home Suite,” a song that takes one through all the different seasons of the year. I couldn’t help but think how you are a part of us now, and from now on each season we are three.

 “Do you hear the music?” I kept thinking. I hope you did.

 Love,

Mom
