Kindness and an Orchestra Mom

“It takes generosity to discover the whole through others.  If you realize you are only a violin, you can open yourself up to the world by playing your role in the concert.”
~ Jacques Yves Cousteau

I recently went to my son’s first orchestra performance of the school year.  We were seated toward the middle of the room and did not have a great view.  I asked another mother who was sitting closer  if she would take a couple of photos of my son.  Of course, she said.  A few minutes after my son’s group finished playing, I received several photos as well as a video that she had taken of him.  And after her daughters played, she got up so that another parent could take her well-positioned seat.
