Last Sunday was Isannah\u2019s ballet performance in the city. She performed in Natural Colors of our Planet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was filled with so many emotions that it\u2019s been so hard finding the words to express all that I\u2019m feeling. She has been in many ballet recitals, shows each year. She also performs every year in the Nutcracker. We just watched her perform in the Nutcracker this past year and she blew my mind then. Each year I watch her I can see her growth and love for all that she does. But this performance left me speechless and in awe of her grace. Her arms flowed effortlessly and each movement was so captivating. I felt like I was in a trance just watching her. I couldn\u2019t take my eyes off of her. She looked taller and more agile. As if she was being pulled by a string carrying her through every move. Her hand positions and arms flowed with each movement she took. Her face expressed each move she was embracing. Then that smile. Oh that smile, of pure joy, happiness and belonging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The progression in her movements showed her growth. I felt like I was no longer looking for that looking girl on stage. She was one of the big girls. I didn\u2019t want the song to end because it meant the dance was over. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I watched all the girls as they moved around the stage making their way to their final position. Then I saw her, my beautiful daughter, and I took one deep inhale and held it as long as I could before releasing it as she flew off the stage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a Mother\u2019s Day I will remember for all my years until my memory fades and then my heart will remember.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
