Our Mascot

My mother is in the fight of her life with a dreaded disease that will eventually take her from us.  She desperately wanted to attend my spring concert on May 1st, but knew she would not have the strength to do so.  I told her we would "Face Time" her with the chorus and she could watch them perform on the computer.  That wasn't good enough.  She said, "You tell the kids that's what we're gonna do, but mark my word, I will be there in person to hear them sing!"

It took 3 caregivers and a wheelchair, but she made it.  It was the most precious time I had ever experienced with my mother.  She considers herself the official mascot of the Fletcher High School Chorus and wasn't going to miss this opportunity.  She knew in her heart of hearts, it would be her last.

I may be an absolute mess at our concert on Tuesday, but the concert has been lovingly dedicated to my mother and the kids will give their all for her.  That's just the kind of kids I am blessed to teach.

Until next time....
