10.It was a snowy Friday.When I observed the snowflakes falling onto my car,I really began to wonder if I was going to make it on time.Of course I must,because I have no option.
About two weeks ago,what my daughter Ellen had talked about was he Christmas concert to be held in her school and some rumors about it."Mom,Rachel was supposed to sing alone,but guess what happened?She's not!Linda will replace her to do it.""Mom,I get to stand next to Tyler in the whole concert!""Mom,you won't believe it,but I Lexie's whole family is coming to the concert,even from another state!"Making a long way out of state to see third graders sing Christmas carols seemed to be a pretty big deal for her.
When I sat in traffic,I thought about all the school events I had attended alone.Elllen never mentioned it,but I wondered how she felt about me being the only one whoever came to her events.My own family lived out of town,and her father and his family never quite managed to fit those things into their schedules.I wondered if it bothered her.
At eight o'clock the concert was scheduled to begin.With only a few minutes to spare,I found myself running:first,through the snow-drifted parking lot,then through the school passage.I entered the crowded hall and found a vacant seat near the front.From her place onstage,Ellen saw me run for the chair,and she smiled.I was close enough to hear the loud conversation of the children onstage.
"Look,Ellen,there is my uncle and my cousin.They came all the way from West Virginia.I can't believe my whole family is here!"Ellen smiled at Lexie and said,"My whole family is here,too!Look,there she is!"Ellen gave me a big smile.I saved back at her,never once noticing the melting snow dripping off my head.It suddenly occurred to me that while we tried to teach our children all about life,they actually taught us what life was all about.
