In the excitement of last night, the goodbyes and thank yous and tears and hugs I forgot to thank someone.
Not just someone… THE someone that stands by me, supports me, works as hard at the recital as any of the rest of us.
My husband and partner - Mr Kevin.
Kevin does all the things behind the scenes that make both the recital and the studio run. Without him there would be no SPSD.
Kevin created and manages the website, all those things on that site that help make the recital, registration and everything in between run as smoothly as it does is because of him.
Her does any of the maintenance, changes, carpentry and more at the studio. I couldn’t have it looking the way I do without him. All those new floors this year? That’s him.
He puts up and takes down the tents (no easy feat - they are sooo heavy and awkward), he cleans up, he gets everything ready for the next show, he plays all the music, but most of all and most importantly …
He supports me. He’s my sounding board, the one I go to when I’m having a bad day and the one I go to when I’m having a good day. He’s my person.
I wish I could go back in time and say all this to him at the recital itself but I cannot - so I will say it here.
Thank you Mr. Kevin. For everything you do for SPSD, the dance families and most importantly for me.
I love you.
