Since my accident, the one that was the cause of all the spine surgeries, especially the 2 neck surgeries I don't have the coordination to play an instrument anymore. Just a short time ago, I found a piano I wanted, tried playing the Bells of Saint Marys and knew it wouldn't be possible again. In fact, with animal rehabbing I had to teach my husband how to play a syringe. I can't hold onto it and control it.
My daughter loves music, use to love Yanni until I played several CD's to death when we toured the US. The Yanni CD's were dangled out the car window until I stopped to buy new Cd's lol. She knows how to hurt me!
My son passed away in 1995. Erika loves animals but has a deep wound from her little Chausie cat dieing during surgery. I doubt if she will ever let herself become emotionally attached to any animal again. This was on top of losing her brother.
I took her out of school for a year, with LD/ADD it wasn't going well anyway. I home schooled. We got in the car and visited every possible site I could think of, from the Eisenhower museum; she learned what a supreme commander was, to the battlefields of the south, a monument in the making Crazy Horse. We went from Minnesota, to the East coast, Gulf of Mexico, West coast back through the north and through the mid west. We spent close to a year in the car. She came home reading well above of what she had learned in school. Did I get off music or what
