Could I Be More Proud? No Way!

Sunny had a band concert tonight. For those of you who don't already know, she's a Flautist. She had divulged to me last night that she was pretty nervous. She's like me - we don't like to be on stage in front of tons of people. Actually, three would be too many. left

Anyway, because I knew how nervous she was, I decided to surprise her with a special message. Once I knew she was fully asleep last night, I took an Expo marker and wrote on the full-length mirror on the back of her bedroom door. The following is the message I left for her:

My Dearest Punky,

I love you more today than I did the day you were born.
I will love you even more tomorrow!
You're beautiful and I'm SO proud of you!

I Love You So Much,
Mom❤


Well, I asked her, "Did you see my note this morning?" She replied, "Yes, and at first I thought it was a murder note. It freaked me out!" lol I laughed my ass off and apologized. She said, "It's okay. Thank you, Mom. I love you so much!" and gave me a giant hug. o

The band concert went really well, and she did amazingly. I could simply not be more proud of her. Here's a picture I took of her directly after the concert came to an end:

Great job to Sunny! That was great of you to help ease her anxieties. I don't know many people that don't get nervous. Band rules ! headbang

'So you think maybe you'll be a prostitute.
Just to pay for your lessons, you're learning the flute.
Ladies wouldn't pay you very much for this.
Looks like you'll never be a concert flautist.' sing

Sorry. Flight of the Concords moment. lol Thats great for her! I played the flute for like.. 2 months? And then switched to the guitar. Much less lung control needed!

Thank you once again, John! heart The feeling is completely mutual. o


Thanks, Anne! bigsmile Almost everyone gets nervous to do this sort of thing, but she's like her Mom. We get more than averagely nervous when it comes to being around other people & such. I really, really want to help ease her out of this, though. It's a really shitty way to live - constantly nervous when someone new even talks to you. down

lol No sorries! She plays the guitar as well. Lonnie is a drummer, bassist, and guitarist - as well as singer, so he's been teaching her guitar for a while now. She does amazingly well! up


Thanks, Chas & Carol...I'll show her everyone's messages! bigsmile


o Thank you so much, Aleks! That is seriously the biggest compliment anyone could ever give me. It's my goal in life to be a good Mom. smile

...But does nobody else think it's hilarious that she immediately thought it was a murder message? lol I know that sounds wrong and mean, but man...I laughed my ass off! So did she, so it's not like she was traumatized.

She's so much like me, it's frightening. scared


I told Lonnie, "Good thing I didn't write REDRUM on there. She'd be in the loony bin!" lol
