Had an interesting day yesterday, one of my nieces invited me to go with her to Atlantic City to see her granddaughter perform in a dance competition. After attending Mass and breakfast with our group, we were on our way. The Competition was held at a casino that I familiar with as my late husband and I frequented some years ago, so I was her co-pilot as I knew the directions and where to park. We got to the casino and joined her son and his wife, the maternal grandparents and a younger sister. The theatre was buzzing with excitement as the performers were doing their practice flips, having their hair done and makeup applied. There were hundreds of parents, grandparents and friends who came to watch and cheer their children and friends. The costumes were just beautiful, and each group had a theme and dressed the part. You have to be amazed to watch these kids perform, so much precision, their timing and attitude is something to see. Little 5 year olds were unbelievable; move over Beyoncé! There was so much love in that room; all the parents, grandparents and friends standing and applauding each group as they received trophies for their outstanding performances. But I was also thinking of the hundreds of children who are not as fortunate to have this opportunity. In todays world, children need to be raised with much love from family, how blessed these two little girls who do have the best.
