In my favorite poem by Robert Frost, Nothing Gold Can Stay, he reminds us that like the seasons of nature, life is one season melting into another, and quickly fading away. This is my attempt to document each season in my life and my family.

Jesus Loves Me

Filed under: General — Rachel at 9:37 pm on Sunday, October 30, 2005

I’m such a proud mommy tonight. Kyra sang in church tonight all by herself for the very first time. She has been wanting to do that for a while, but she just asked Pastor Pallotta if she could sing the other night. So, I told him again tonight that she wanted to sing, and he said he would let her. When it was time, Pastor Pallota said, “I think Miss Kyra is going to sing for us tonight.” Kyra hopped up off the pew, marched right up on the stage, and never batted an eyelash. Pastor Pallotta knelt down and asked her what she was going to sing, and Kyra told him. He handed her the microphone, and she turned around, held the mic right under her mouth, and sang Jesus Loves Me. She sang loud, clear, to the tune, and got almost every word right. I was sitting back there with tears in my eyes. I was so proud of my little girl. Elijah stood in the pew to watch her sing, and, when she finished and came down, he was clapping for his sister for all he was worth. I do believe he was proud, too. After church, everyone kept telling me how good she did, and that I should be proud of her. She’s only three, and she did such a good job. My baby is growing up. I’m so proud of her.
