Before Annie and I went to the park this morning, I sat on the couch watching last night’s recording of David Letterman’s show, crying like a baby. Annie didn’t understand why so many tears were coming out since I was smiling.
“Why are you smile-crying Mom?”
I hushed her. All wrapped up in the moment. Tears streaming down my face. Watching that TV screen like it was delivering the most beautiful story I had ever seen. My heart was racing and I felt so proud and happy and giddy and grateful, I just wanted to run outside and gather people up to come in and watch it with me.
There on the screen was my college friend-roommate-bridesmaid, Elizabeth A. Davis, playing her violin, dancing, singing…
living the dream she dreamed when we were both girls-
doing exactly what she was uniquely created to do.
She is part of the Broadway cast for the new, highly acclaimed musical, Once. Everyone is talking about this small, tight-knit cast who has taken the movie, Once, to a new level of beauty and artistry on the stage. It seems like overnight they went from an off-Broadway show to being the darlings of the theatrical world in the heart of New York City.
