I too have a daughter in the piano scene. I am not musical and can't practice with her, but her recitals make me sick to my stomach, I get sooo nervouse for her. I picture this the whole time I read your story. Great work brother. I loved it. She has a great friend and dad and she will be stronger because of that. Peace! Man, what a great story.

Your pride just shines through this fantastic post. <br /><br />And to Zoe: EVERYONE makes mistakes, seasoned professionals who have played their compositions numerous times will often hit the wrong key, play the wrong note. It's all a part of being human... and realizing NO ONE is perfect.<br /><br />Bravo Zoe!!!! Okay, are you trying to make me cry or something??? Your pride just shines through this fantastic post.

I can't even tell you how many times I was in Zoe's position - and you were absolutely right that she was probably thinking about it all day. I know the exact thing she was feeling. Great insight Ed and nicely written. That was a very touching post – especially for me.

Hard to know if she could answer honestly at her age, but what do you think? Does she play piano for herself or for you?
