thank you



while playing the piano today,
i was sight reading a Nocturne by Chopin.

as i read i hit a low, low A.
after i hit it, i stopped and thought
"how did i know that note was an A?"

really, i'm not sure how i knew it--i just did.
but i know it wasn't because of me.

so thank you, Sister Shawcroft, for sticking with me
and believing in me even when i didn't practice well.
