Here is Luca with his early 8-year-old birthday present from Mom and Dad. For the past year Luca has constantly and consistently asked for a cello. We told him if he still wanted to play cello by the time he was 8 we would get him one.......
Here he is, getting ready to practice. He has not had a single lesson yet but will sit and play for half an hour at a time. He is over the moon happy and super enthusiastic. He cannot wait until his lessons start in September.
Today Luca brought his cello to Dillon's hospital room and played for him. I don't know who was more proud....D or L :))
Special thank you to The Violin Shop of Santa Fe and our very sweet and dear friends Kevin, Julia, and Finn for helping make this happen for Luca. This is a life-changing moment that he will never forget!!!
Awesome Luca, I am so happy for you, I know you will do great things with that cello. I love that smile that you have. See you soon.
ReplyDeleteI'm gathering from your posts that Luca has been able to still visit Dillon. That's fantastic. I'm glad Luca got his much beloved cello and will have something to focus on for himself. Mucho love....Aunt Marilyn
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Luca! When you get started have your Dad post or send a video so we can hear you. I love cello-so deep and warm.
