Each time I look back at this Easter from 2002, I see Mom’s piano back there in the corner and I miss her playing us to sleep at night.

a little musical kindness
In January of 2005 while participating on several online forums, a gentleman was discussing various forms of music with me
The discussion turned to the topic of different types of flutes and it ended with him asking if he could play a song for me
Not a fan of talking to strangers on the phone, he then suggested he could call at a certain time and leave the song on the answering machine
The time arrived and I awaited the call
He started by stating who he was in a shakey voice and then he played an old hymn on the strange flute
Oh the feelings that swirled as I listened to his recording
As quickly as he had started he ended and left kind words
I never knew his real name or where he lived,
but such a sweet kindness to leave a song for a stranger
