"How old are you today?"

Today I went back to UCI to watch my youngest siblings perform in Bare Bones, this show is special since it's all run by the undergraduates and volunteers. Lani and Bret got together to choreograph a truly beautiful piece, that literally brought me to tears tonight. The piece was titled, "How old are you today?" and was dedicated to both of our Grandfathers, Roy & Bob and our pseudo grandmother, Tomi.

 All three of these people have made profound impacts and cared for us in our lives as children and then we found ourselves in reverse roles as adults. I loved seeing these emotions put into movement and immortalized on the stage. Watching both of them on stage tonight took me back to both happy and sad moments. That's one of the greatest things about dance, it can make you feel something so great and it can back down memory lane. So proud of these two, they truly are such amazing individuals.
