The Most Extraordinary Concert I've Ever Attended

There are some things that you want to hold on to forever. But even in that moment you feel that they are slipping away. 

I suppose graduation is supposed to feel like that. But I think I had that moment yesterday. 

It was Abigail's final Solisti concert and I was sitting in the church with family surrounding me, Scott sitting just behind me. 

And we both knew that this was 'our moment' to say/think/feel... she did that. She did it. She can play like that. That's our little Abigail. 

The concert moved us to tears, both Scott and I crying and crying at the end of it. It was a moment I will remember for a very long, long time. Scott and I holding each other and crying as if there wasn't anyone else in that church. Our moment. 

Because it was her moment. In that concert we watched her shine like I've never seen before. There was nothing quite like that playing she did. 

I have photographs of course, and ever a few clips of video. There might even be a recording they did that I can upload here. But there is just no way to put the feelings here. No possible way. 

You'll just have to trust me. It was magical. 

  

Here is a clip a parent posted: 

I have a few clips too since I had a front row seat to all this goodness! 

I love how the conductor Abigail has known since she was 3 years old recognized her birthday and I love how his love of teaching and those seniors behind him showed in his words and emotions.
