For my wife's youngest sister, Summer. Who I would do anything for. Ash and I can't have kids with out help that cost a good junk of money but that's a different topic. Ashley's mom has been the sole provider since her Dad's stoke last year that has left him semi handicap (mentally). Summer, who is 15 this year has been using my wife saxophone that my wife used in middle through high school (99-05). It finally crapped the bed and she needed a new one. But one that would last her through college.
There was a music event for students in Cary this past week. were they sold instruments at a discount. Her mom I know didn't have the money or the credit for a loan with out getting raped on the interest. Her mom started crying because she knew she couldn't get it but was trying none the less. I had some money for a rainy day, put some down and financed the rest at 0% for 18 months. Summer wants to be a music teacher and has learned to play my trumpet for middle/high school. I told her she better get a scholarship for school with her talent. I've been on a strong path to get rid of all debt (other than house). I'm so close, to accomplished this but felt like I took 10 steps back. However it's for a great cause. This is what I kept telling my self anyway but kept looking at it as tacking on 18 months min to what I had left.
Summer had her concert to night and I didn't plan on going originally because of work.. Boy am I glad I did. She had a solo and absolutely killed it. To hear her play, just moved me in a way I've honestly never experienced. I kinda broke down in the truck. Maybe it's because we want kids so bad, maybe it's because I want to see Summer succeed er full potential to so bad. Whatever the case maybe this smile is worth it all. I love her like my own and would do anything for her that I could do.
