Sitting in the Verizon Theater, surrounded by my sisters and brothers, nephews and a niece, an aunt and cousins, family friends, my husband and daughter, and my mom and my dad, all 29 of us watching my son so fully in his element - dancing, acting, shining on the stage while performing with Demi Lovato - I found myself in a moment of pure gratitude.
One of those moments that envelops you and seems to fill every cell of your body and every corner of your awareness, mind, and consciousness. Sheer appreciation for life. All is well and whole in this moment, even though our daily lives feel far from perfect.
The love of family creating a powerful force field of strength and security and belonging.
My dad recovering from his two recent strokes and genuinely enjoying the show.
My brother reunited with his sons after spending Thanksgiving apart from them.
Cuddles abounding.
Several family members for the first time getting to experience Mason’s dancing in person.
Our teenagers tangibly touched by their cousin’s success, and celebrating him.
Witnessing Mason live his dream and passion after years of hard work, dedication and sacrifices.
The moment was simply perfect. Thank you God.
