Thank goodness for music

Music creates the soundtrack for our lives. We can literally connect precious moments to those most precious songs that instrumentally changed who we are.

For our daughter classical music creates continuous peace. It is hard to describe what it felt like in her early days when she could not tolerate sound at all. From age 3 to 7 we lived in almost total silence. Now I cannot imagine a moment where she isn’t listening to classical or Broadway music or singing or requesting her flute.
Music somehow worked its magic and found a way to infiltrate her barriers.

I am most grateful when I watch her playing when she does not know I am looking. Having a child on the spectrum brings about so many emotions.
Today I am joyful. Thank goodness for music!
