My mommy came to visit for the Haiti benefit concert put on this thursday. It was a fantastic turn out and we had so much love in one room it was amazing. The freshly baked goods lined the festively decorated tables, the cozy groups of people swarmed by the free food and hot beverages in the back while thouroughly enjoying the musical treats.:) The bands were great and were so flexible with performing and volunteering their time. We as a kinesiology society put on the event and had hope to raise a thousand dollars this semester..with gathering about 600 dollars in a few weeks all we needed was about 400 to reach our goal..The flow of people continued to surge through the door fairly consistently through the event and the goodies went for 50 cents per item. Somehow we started to fill the jars and were pleasantly surprised when a generous hand dropped a 20$ or two.
My momma was there the entire night and helped decorate the place out adding the motherly touches. It had a warm and open feel as one walked through the doors and immediately the goodies and hanging wreaths were in sight.
It was so comforting to have my mommy there. I think she just made me feel so much more at home, I love seeing her and it is so nice to have family there. I have been going through a lot lately and the familiarity of having her there was unexplainable. I probably told her 20 times through the night how glad I was that she was there.
I love kitty cat. She's the best roomie.:) slash sister. slash blood.
