Emily showing off her piano skills
by memory on Christmas Day 2002
at the restaurant
Galleria Marchetti
in Chicago.

Her mommy is obviously
very proud of her little prodigy!
No, she was NOT playing
"Twinkle, twinkle little star"!!!

I once read that one child
who  died suddenly
had shone his light so
intensely
that he used it up
so young--
having so brightened the
lives of others.
I think most would agree that
Emily did that too.


And while people would say
that for me, my  "mouth"
was the intense part,
I would have to say that the LIGHT
Emily emit was even bigger
than my big mouth!!!

My big mouth didn't save her
but boy isn't she BLINDING
in the above picture???
Her Sassy Self!
