Things that Josie did today...

Today was a very big day for Josie.

She had two experiences that may change her outlook.

She was given the privilege of performing at Carnegie Hall.

She called me shortly after full of excitement.

She had never had as much fun singing .

I found that hard to believe,

knowing that is singing is one of her great passions.

I am so happy that she appreciates this ......

The other experience that she had today was not as happy,

but was even more educational for her.

They went to ground zero today.

She saw the memorial wall.

She watched footage

that she was to young to see when it happened.

And she cried.

This was very moving for her.

She remembers listening to the radio,

but not understanding.

Watching us,

knowing that something was different.

But not knowing what.

Since then she has been taught.

But now she knows.

She understands.

She feels.

Today my daughter had two very different experiences.

Today I am a very proud.
