God On High, Hear My Prayer

 

 

Les Miserable was this past weekend, and it was Kuba's final BHS musical.  

Words cannot describe the experience adequately.  First of all, it was a labor of love. Anna was the set designer and volunteered so many hours to build and get the staging set.  I helped a teeny bit, as did Sandy, but Anna - giant show of love and devotion.  Kuba has been practicing for almost 3 full months.  Kuba had the lead role, Jean Valjan and HE WAS AMAZING.  Articulate, emotive, immersed in his character and mostly, was able to convey to the audience the emotional complexity of his role.  His best friends were also in the show, Nadia, Lyla, Keats, Mac, Oliver, Iris and of course Siena, and this made the show so deep, cohesive, and rich.  It wsa such a remarkable experience.

Kuba was asked my multiple kids for his autograph. And the feedback he got was that people were moved to tears, and blown away.  What I want to say is that my son loves performing, is absolutely passionate and locked in.  He is pure joy.  And I think God did hear my prayer.  He gifted us with Kuba.    

Our Boy in Costa Rica

 

 

 

We got some photos of Anders in action through a friend of his down in Costa Rica. This is just a sneak peak of his glorious trip. He will be home in about 5 more weeks, and I will be very grateful to have him back here with us!  We text regularly and call each week. He's honestly so fully engaged and interested in all that flies, crawls or slithers down there.

It was Kuba's birthday - the big EIGHTEEN!

This boy continues to amaze.... he's bright, so alive, curious, funny, musical, passionate, and kind.

SO many times, I feel such a sense of joy and gratitude around him. He never fails to teach us, entertain us, and provide such a sense of awe.  He's in his senior year and may this year launch him into his one wild and amazing life. We had a birthday dinner where we celebrated both Jamie and Kuba and then Kuba had a B I N G O birthday with his friend group.  Fun was had by all.
