When I was just five, my 73-year-old grandmother leaned down and asked softly, “If I buy you a piano, will you promise to play it?” I eagerly said yes, not knowing how deeply that promise would shape my life.

That piano was never just wood and keys—it became the heartbeat of our home. 🎶 Every note I struck carried her love, her faith, and her quiet pride. She never asked for perfection; she simply sat nearby, listening with a smile that told me I was enough.

Through the chaos of military moves, through joy and loss, that piano followed me like a thread of her spirit woven into my story. Today, it still stands in my living room, polished with care. And on top rests her photo—her eyes watching over me, her love lingering in every melody. 📸✨

She lived to 96, and though she is gone, her gift remains. It isn’t just an instrument. It is her sacrifice, her belief in me, her legacy that sings each time my fingers touch the keys.
