Lesson in Being a Better Parent

Last night we went to my daughter's school production of Peter Pan. It was so hot and sticky and sitting shoulder to shoulder with other hot and sticky people made it almost unbearable. Evelyn was in the chorus. She had three songs to sing with several other students so she was not a main character by any means. It was a typical school play, kids forgetting their lines and cues plus worst of all they were not speaking loud enough for everyone to hear them. I thought it was going to be a long night. But I just thought about what a Christian speaker said once about being a parent. He said that it is not important that YOU are watching the play as it is that your child SEES you in the audience watching the play. SO in the end, it's not about me. It is about supporting my girl. Lesson learned.
