Leila, every one of your words deeply moves me. I admire your courage to write and keep us updated. I have a lump in my throat every time I read an entry from you. If it is this emotional for me, it must be unbearable for you. I don’t know Carter, and only met you briefly at an MTNA conference, yet your story touches me, as it has so many others around the globe. It is heart warming to see so many people praying for Carter. All of this support is not from nothing - you have been a great person contributing positively and wholeheartedly to the lives of many others, your students, your community, and of course your fellow music teachers. Carter has been a great person. You have been a great mom. As I celebrate this holiday season with my daughter (she is 4), I am reminded, because of your story, how precious every moment is. Thank you for teaching us the most important lesson in life. I will continue to keep you in my prayers. ❤️
