Music to my Ears
Christmas is right around the corner. Which means gifts galore are being purchased and will be given in about a week. Most people purchase gifts, wrap them and give them on christmas. Not quite the case in my family, and there is a reason to that. My dad has never been the go out and seek presents, wrap them and give them type. He is always worried he will get the wrong thing. My mom was the present purchaser, and would put my dads name on them. My dad is good at giving money in cards though! 
My mom passed away from breast cancer last december, so last christmas my dad just got me what I needed for my new apartment and that was that. So i wasn’t sure how it would go this year, so I gave him a list of the things that I wanted. Number 1 on my list was a piano. When I was younger my mom sent me to Piano lessons, I played piano until I was in 5th grade which is when I choose to learn the Cello. I can still play the pinao but since I dont have one around on a regular basis I can’t just play and learn songs. So I wanted a pinao so that I could pick up my piano playing skills and be able to play farely well again. So I put that on the list, thinking that maybe he would just call and purchase it. Instead he had my purchase it online for him. Some may think, well thats no fun, christmas is about the surprise. But it’s how my dad has always been, he likes to know that I am getting what I want. So I am happy with it I got my piano and I can’t wait for christmas when I can play it! I have many songs I plan to learn.
