"fill my heart with song & let me sing forevermore"

i went to this fiesta at Mater Delarosa in sierra madre. my dad went there 20 yrs ago for this one church retreat and we saw a flyer in the mail. so we moseyed on over and at first..we went hiking around..then we actually went to the fiesta..and it was okay..nothing too grand but then at nite a jazz band was playing and this guy was singing all these old songs..[frank would've loved his voice!] he sang a couple frank sinatra songs and i got really excited, so we stayed longer than we planned and then, we were about to leave..so we started walking but then they started playing this really nice jazz song..and my dad wanted to stay longer.me and yola were doing the charleston in the parking lot and this old man said "there's a dance floor up there yanno" haha so we went back up to the fiesta and grabbed some chairs and stayed there
and the singer guy was like "we'll be rightback in a couple minutes"then he passed by where we were sitting and i said "you sing great!" and he's like "why, thank you! whats ur name" and he introduced himself and i asked  if he could play "fly me to the moon" and he said he'd try to put it into a medley somehow. then when he got back into singing..he sang a  couple songs then sang "come fly with me" so i thought that maybe he got the songs switched up so i felt somewhat satisfied.we got up and started to leave but just when we were leaving, we were standing on the side..(like almost behind the stage by now) and he was singing this weird song then i heard "fly me to the moon..let me play among hte stars" and i jumped and i ran back. his voices was soo great..and you could tell he was looking at where i used to sit..and he was looking for me. then after the song was over..he said "a young lady requested thatt song..i hope she heard it and enjoyed it!" and i said "WOO HOO!! OVER HERE!! THANK YOU!!!!" and he's like "thANK YOU!! GOD BLESS YOU!". that was the happiest moment of my life! i was smiling soooo much! i even smiled the whole way back home!

today was really a family-filled day. i missed my dad, so today was THE bonding day. we're gonna bond tmrw as well cause he'll be giving me a lesson in mechanics! how to change oil, learn all the parts of the motor, how to see if the car needs more fluid..all that snazzy stuff! SO EXCITED!
