I so enjoyed this, Katrina. Such talent and depths of creativity. Isn't it fascinating those moments of motherhood we wish we could have a "do over" with? How they landed for our children, sometimes very painful to hear, and other moments, they shrug their shoulders as if it was not a "big deal?" Important to have, though, I hear you, an ongoing invitation to put to the side our parent fragility. Terrific pictures too! Such JOY. Xo ððŠķ
He just graduated from college with a degree in Ecology--he loves plants as much as he loves music. Whatever he does, he does with passion, though, so I can't wait to see what's next. Thanks for reading about him. <3
Catching up on posts Iâve missed, and this one was a treasure. George is gifted. And thereâs no such thing as a perfect parent, but it sounds like your four know they have a wonderful mom ð§Ą. Happy Motherâs Day!
Look at your George. What a talented boy, my goodness, thank you for sharing. I loved this and I relate so hard. Mine plays the classical guitar. Wish they could have a jam session and we could sit on the couch and bask âšïļâšïļ
You are one of the best mothers I know. Iâm glad you remember all the wonderful memories you created for your children. Motherhood is the most important and least valued job in the world. Well done. Congratulations to both you and the gorgeous magic of your sons' hands. I had to come back to listen to his music and melt. Celebrating all of you â ice cream for everyone!
Wow. He is incredibly talented! Iâve always thought it must be kinda amazing to see your kid do something like, exceptionally well, and hold that god given talent alongside the knowing they came from your body but also from some other powerful magic, tooâ must feel pretty fucking cool.
This is a beautiful homage to your boy, friend. âĪïļ
I love George's playing! He is playing the same Bach piece I performed in high school at an assembly. Thank you for sharing his gifts, and your struggles as a Mom.
Beautiful! My nephew is like George. Jazz musician living in Taipai, far from our childhood home of Nova Scotia. I think I will write an essay about him!
His talent and devotion is evident. We always have regrets -- and core memories for US that they won'[t remember. But it's all building blocks to making them terrific people. <3 You done good, and this is lovely.

Thank you, Joanie. I'm glad you enjoyed George. He is truly a treat, and his music is just magical. Parenting is such a journey, isn't it? <3
What a talented and inquisitive son! It's going to be interesting to see where life takes him.

Thanks so much, Amy. I was pretty lucky to get to be their mom. Hugs to you. XO

Jam sessions are his favorite. And I would give my right arm to sit there with you and listen to our boys play together. <3

Thanks, friend. It's a pretty amazing feeling. I take zero credit for his talent and brains, but I feel pretty proud to have grown him inside me. <3

I love that you still remember playing Bach in high school! I can't even remember what I wore yesterday. :)

Thanks, friend. He's a joy. I'm always proud to write about him (and my other three as well). <3
This was perfect, thank you.
Thank you so much. I'm glad you enjoyed reading about my musician. <3
