"Hi, Mom."
my seventeen year old walked into the house, dropped his backpack on the floor and sat in front of the piano began playing.
for one who learn to play by ear, he never cease to amaze me!

later that evening as i walked pass his room he called out, "Mom, listen to this," with pocket pc on one hand, he handed me the other half of the ear phone.
"One of my favorites." he said. " Soundtrack from Anime Kenshin."
(not the one that he had been playing all afternoon)

for a brief moment, mother and son sat by the edge of the bed,
lost in the beauty of "Her most beautiful smile".
