Performing is powerful. I wanted to speak to you at our cast party, but I didn't think I could get the words out without crying. My grandpa passed away this week. He lived a full life - 90 years and many incredible experiences within those years.
His last couple of months were spent in bed. He lost the ability to walk, but his mind remained sharp. We would quiz each other on musical theater and watch Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers musicals together while he rested. Although he was stuck in bed for those last couple of months, he surprised me when he made it to the citizen performance of Guys and Dolls. It was one of the rare times he went out, but he loved a musical - especially a classic like ours. He went on and on about it for weeks! You created a moment that is so special for so many reasons - this reason is just one of them.
I needed to say thank you for giving me and my grandpa that memory. Hope you have a wonderful break. <3
