Another activity our family enjoys doing together is concerts. For years, we have been going to the Ryan Shupe Christmas concert, and occasionally his other shows. Christopher has a couple of his albums on his iPAD. When Christopher heard his favorite songs tonight, he squealed with joy. Our neighbors were so kind and patient with his exuberance. The following video was actually one of his more mellow responses :)
One of our family's Christmas traditions is going to Michael McLean's "The Forgotten Carols." At the end of the show, Michael always leads the audience in singing his song "We Can Be Together Forever Some day." Tonight, while we were singing, I was holding Christopher's hand, and he turned to me and gave me a kiss on the lips. I believe God grants us tender mercies in many ways. I have always longed to hear Christopher say, "I love you Dad." I heard it and felt it tonight. |
