Dancin' time!

Valerie is gearing up for her dance recital this weekend!! Tomorrow is the rehearsal and Saturday is the big show. I am very curious about how she will react to being on stage. Very proud of my little girl! I'm excited and nervous for her.

It brings back a lot of memories when I was in dancing... all the work and anticipation. I can clearly recall being backstage with my Mom. All the hustle and bustle of kids getting ready. The frilly costumes. Sitting in the audience watching the show. Being on stage looking out at the audience. Oh and can't forget getting to wear make-up!! What a treat that was.

How I wish my Mom were here to see Valerie dance. We talked a lot about putting Val in dancing. She would have been so happy to see Val on stage.

She's been gone almost 10 months now. Soon... a year. How fast time has passed.
