sunnyday Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Many, many years ago I had the privilege of working with 4 super boys from one family....... The youngest has always held a very special place in my heart - I have seen him on and off over the years as we live in the same village..... However, we had pretty much lost touch when he went off to Uni - see his mum from time to time and she updates me - imagine my surprise when I came home today to find that he had dropped a letter through my door...... He is studying Drama and Theatre Arts and it has been a long running 'joke' that I gave him his love for all things theatrical - I spent many a happy time playing Dorothy for him (Wizard of Oz) :1b Anyway fantastic surprise and a lovely letter full of how well he is doing. He is now moving into stage management. He ended his letter with 'if I end up stage managing a production of The Wizard of Oz you will be the first person to get a ticket to the opening night! How special is that? 24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FSFRebecca Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 That's wonderful ... what an inspiration you are and how fantastic for him to go to all that effort to get in touch. You must send him a good luck charm: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Wizard-Oz-Inspired-Dorothy-Brooch/dp/B005KR2Q6Y/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1465392608&sr=8-1&keywords=ruby+slippers+badge 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SueJ Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Oh how lovely - as well as giving him a love of drama you have also had such an impact that he took time and trouble to write to you as a young man - how fabulous. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panders Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 That's a lovely story Sunnyday - shows we do have an impact - I must say I don't always recognise some of my Uni crowd out and about - they change sooooo much. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fredbear Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 That is so lovely. It gives you such a wonderful feeling when they go past that embarrassed to see you stage and now come and give you a hug. So to all our fellow practitioners you really are something special you know.xx 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnyday Posted June 8, 2016 Author Share Posted June 8, 2016 Thank you for all of your lovely comments - I am so lucky to have you to share this with - it is only fellow early years peeps that would understand :1b I don't kid myself that I really gave him his love for all things theatrical - all I did was what we all do everyday for the children in our care - I encouraged his interests and maybe, just maybe I was lucky enough to be one of the first people to recognise that he could go far! :1b 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
