Music To My Ears

While we were over at mom and dad's yesterday, I was telling dad that Halle and her cousin Camryn want to sing a little song from the Disney movie "Tangled" at my wedding in May.

Mandy Moore – I See the Light (From "Tangled")

I told him that I'd love it if, when he feels up to it, he could start practicing and accompany them on his guitar.  He, of course, wanted to start right away, and I can't tell you how wonderful it was to hear my dad play again. It's probably been three months since he's picked up his guitar, and I'll bet that's the longest he's gone without playing it for almost 50 years. As long as I can hear my dad playing that guitar, I know everything's going to be fine.

Thank you to his donor, the donor's family, his amazing doctors and nurses, all of the sweet people in his ward and all of our neighbors and family friends who have helped both financially and through their service. Thank you for giving that guitar another chance to be played.
