Brought a tear to my eye

This email reproduced with kind permission from it's recipient, the beautiful Nikita, lawyer extraordinaire at my workplace. It is from her dad. Jesse is his grandson.

I am still trying to believe that this really happened!...
I'll tell you all about it. But first a little history.
When Jesse started violin I spent a bit of time recording many violin pieces, solos and so on for him to listen to. Among them was Haydn's Op 3. No. 5 'Serenade'. As this is one of my all time favorite pieces of music I developed the fanciful idea that it would be great, -Magnificent even. If Jesse were to one day play this for me. I sent away and obtained the sheet music on which I drew a cartoon and gave it to Jesse. Well that was in '99 and the thought still lingered , more or less as a nice dream.
Today I attended an end of the year concert conducted by Jess' teacher,and,You guessed it... A total surprise!
" Backed by the other members of the quartet. Jesse Morley will now play a piece which he dedicates to his grandfather. Haydn's Serenade"!

I was not the only one who shed tears during this, Very very beautiful!
Love to all. Dad.

Merry Christmas everyone ....
