A very touching, Irish Mother's Day

We received a text from Sara, the girls Irish dance teacher, wanting to know if they could dance on mother's day.  How could I say no, it would be Nylah's first show and ALL 3 of MY GIRLS dancing on mother's day.  Then I found out they would be dancing for a mother that was dying of cancer.  She always wanted to go to Ireland, so they were going to bring it to her. 
There weren't going to be many girls there and we had music, so Milenna put the show together.  I was so proud of her - she knew what they could handle with the small group that would be going.  We showed up about 10 minutes early, Milenna let the girls know what they would be doing...
The bag piper played before our girls danced.  We all went into the woman's back yard - it was a good size back yard and they had thrown down some plywood for the girls.  The family was so warm and welcoming - it brought tears to my eyes.  They girls did a great show and at the end, they presented the mother with roses.   (not gonna lie, there wasn't a dry eye there - including mine - especially when Nylah took her first step!!!)  She then invited them to ride her horses - you should've seen the girls light up - and you should've seen the girls riding horses in their Irish Dance dresses - what a sight!!!!
