Olivia decided to audition for the Riverview Talent Show again this year. She sang, "When You Wish Upon a Star" . . . and it was about the sweetest thing you ever saw. Seriously . . . I'm her mom, so I'm aloud to brag it up! We were really proud of her, especially that she had the courage to get up in front of all those people by herself.
About 10 minutes before the show, Livi had serious stage fright. She was shaking and told me she had changed her mind and no longer wanted to be in the show. She and I went to the bathroom, shut ourselves in a stall, and said a prayer together. We prayed that angels would be with her to help her feel calm, remember her words and sing her very best. We hugged, and she said she felt ready to go on.
After the show, I asked her if she had been nervous when she went on stage. She said the prayer had worked, and she hadn't been scared at all! It's a moment I will never forget as a Mom.
Bravo Livi! We love you!!
