This morning I mailed my son's clarinet with the prayer that it be used to introduce another child to the wonder of creating music.
A victim of the current economic downturn, I found myself unemployed. I am blessed to have secured another job quickly, but this change also requires considerable downsizing! While acknowledging this terribly difficult process, my children keep reminding me that this is only "stuff". They are so right! I treasure the memories made with all my "stuff", but I realize that there is another path for my life and will follow where I am led.
My son played this clarinet in both middle and high schools. It has traveled the country with an award-winning high school marching band, played for presidents and Mickey Mouse, from the Orange Bowl to Disneyland, as well as countless competitions and half-time shows. While my son no longer plays this musical instrument, our wish is that another child will experience the joy of creating music and that another mother will also treasure musical memories!
Thank you for the opportunity to share this clarinet with another budding musician.
