This week my heart captured a rare moment of "This is what I always wanted"! I always saw myself as the sort of parent that constantly played music and had the whole family singing around the piano after dinner. The sort of mother that sings to her children at bed time and shares her musical skill in relaxed informal lessons. Alas, I think this family exists in a 1950's family sitcom and not in real life. Well, not mine anyway. But this week I had a moment of clarity that shone brighter than any other family music moment.
Robbie was walking around the house practicing his guitar (he's having lessons this year) and Rob came out of his room playing his guitar, and they met in the halway - and 'JAMMED'. Then they sat down and played a whole song together, no talking, just musical communication. Can you believe it, they were actually jamming with tongues out and heads bobbing. And they sounded fabulous (if only there was a singer in the family! ha ha). The moment completely took my breath away and I had to capture it on film. It's what I always dreamed about.
