racing the cane

i posted about my inspiring bestie, here and here last year.

this year, she has gone above and beyond

like you cannot even imagine!

daphne has taken her musical talent and mixed it with her passion
to serve. {check this out!} with that mix, she wrote, composed, and
recorded her very own song this year!

who does that?

my bestie.

i’ve thoroughly, with tears, most the time,
enjoyed this process with her vicariously.

in june, i sat next to daphne, on her piano bench in her home,
and listened to her sing with her two oldest daughters,
while she also played the piano.

her music was a mere five or six letters she had scribbled on
a piece of scrap paper in front of her. it’s magical.

she said, the words just came to her, she had the tune in her head,
so she just sat down and played it all together, one day.

a-MAZ-ing, right?

then in july, as we were sitting by my pool, watching our kiddies swim,
i listened to a handful of her recording ideas for the
background music. offered my opinions…
and waited for the final song!
this process, has really been cool.

i just sit there and cry, most of the time.
between her passions for the spanish language, serving around
the world, and music…it’s almost too much to handle.
especially for an emotional gal!

now. in august, the song is recorded!
