Mama Liz played the piano and Aunt Sue is playing her Boston piano in the piano study club. David has the ear for jazz and I plunk along with piano lessons each week taught by David’s former piano teacher. I have a set of tunes that I call my own. My Dad would have a good laugh knowing I am continually trying to master the keys with minimum success..

With my father’s sudden illness and death last week, I’ve been thinking about the fact that I no longer have an opportunity to ask him questions about his childhood, our family history, etc. I’m glad that you do.

One of my favorites – perhaps because I know and admire both of the men involved. And you all do have a wonderful bond. Got me all “vahclempt.” My other favorite vignette was of the deaf and blind older man and woman. Beautiful scene of love and intimacy between the two of them that you described. Really struck a chord. (Pun intended here!)

Of course I can relate to the passion for music, but this deep connection with a parent is something I’ve never had. What a blessing to share these memories together.
