I am grateful to have had a chance to visit my mom on this three day weekend.

It became even clearer to me why I’m an opera singer (in addition to having a deeply musical family tribe.)

Yes, it’s true. In grand opera fashion, I first walked when my mom came home from a brief hospital visit. I was so happy to see her that when she came in the front door, I stumble walked to her in front of crying relatives.

This morning took the cake though.

I had to leave at the 🍑 of the AM to catch my flight. Almost drooling, I awoke from my slumber after my alarm failed to wake me. I had to quickly say goodbye to my mom as the cab was waiting.

Mom gave me tearful hugs and kisses. She stood in the picture window as we drove away. All we needed was an act 4 Puccini C-sharp minor chord to complete the scena. 😭😅😂
