So we had the Dedication of the Wishing Well at the Winter Concert by the Goffstown High School band. Charlene said a few words about you and your life. I could not go up - it would have been too hard for me. I find comfort in the fact that you would be very happy that I did not go up and blab endlessly since you were not one for sitting through boring lectures. I could picture you being there saying "GET ON WITH THE MUSIC!" You loved music so much. Anyway, we sat in the theatre, the same seats we sat in with you when we saw Grease and Peter Pan and Wizard of Oz and so forth. All the music and plays we had seen through the years. It was very nice. Melissa was there. She brought the plaque - she had a quote from the Wizard of Oz on it - it really speaks volumes to your life. The Goffstown News and the New Boston Bulletin both ran articles about you, your life, love of music and on-going legacy.
We miss you so much. I think about you all the time and seem to be able to think of millions of reasons to talk about you. You did so much, accomplished so much and gave so much. So I guess it would make sense that you would be ever-present.
I find myself thinking about things Bryant and really understanding so much more about you, us, and our lives. I know it's an on-going process, but somehow that's a great thing, because you are always in my thoughts and our conversation and therefore our lives. You made sure of that in all you gave to us.
So in honor of a life well lived and a life defined by those who love you - we dedicated the Wishing Well.
Love you so much,
Mommy
