Another year of Nutcracker is finished for Sister.  Next year, Honey will be old enough to participate.  The guest artists were fantastic.  Oh, my!  I had tears in my eyes when they finished their performance.  It was so beautiful. 

Today, we had the matinee performance at 2pm.  It started off on time but then we had a mishap.  A group of older women had arrived late and were coming into the dark theater.  One of the women missed a step and took a tumble right in front of Brother.  He says she didn't fall on him and he seemed okay.  The poor elderly woman was not.  The show was stopped, a doctor was called for, and then the EMTs showed up.  She has a broken hip.  It was scary.  I was helpless to do anything.  I knew how to get them to turn the lights back on, but I couldn't go anywhere because she was right there.  I should've jumped over the seats. 

Please pray for this woman.  I don't know her name or her age.  What a time to be in the hospital. 

The show did go on and it was another wonderful one, but we couldn't stop thinking about the injured woman.

In complete autistic fashion, once the paramedics took the lady away on the stretcher, he said, "Okay, turn the lights off now."  His first and foremost concern was getting this show on the road.  Later, he did show some empathy when he mentioned he wished he could've done more to help her.
