I was in elementary school chorus (well before my voice changed and went down 17 octaves) My dad was never able to attend. Id always ask, he'd apologize and let me know he wanted to but couldnt.

one day, one obscure performance in the middle of the day, out of the blue, I look up....wayyyyyy in the back, standing in his std arms folded 'master of all I survey' pose, was my dad.

I never forgot. he never mentioned it.
after he died, I found a picture he took of me that day without my knowledge.

sneaky bastage.

so...it can truly make a difference. even if only 'eventually'

Thanks for making me cry at work .
