Life is so heavy at times, especially when we're worrying about those closest to us.<br /><br />I really feel for Colin in his situation, and admire him too. The stupid prejudice of other people really annoys me, when it's so obvious that male ballet dancers (have to) excel in physical strength, and strength of character. (Ok, I'm going to leave that there because ignorant people <i>really</i> annoy me!) Bravo to Colin though :) And just look at Patric Swayze! People don't think of him as a ballet dancer, but that's what he was, and he met his future wife at 18 and they stayed together for life. Wow, I saw a beautiful dance that the two performed together. Imagine sharing a passion like that with the person you're married to.<br /><br />As for the rude people... no, I'd better not get started on that one either! I've met a fair few! There are elitists in many areas of life, you must have met quite a few yourself in the art world! I just try to laugh at them and move on, though I understand it can hurt at times.<br /><br />You've raised your children to excel in their art and to still remain human. You should feel very proud of yourself :)Undauntedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11600222853782999884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25975871.post-52957104032155551932010-10-18T12:17:05.833-07:002010-10-18T12:17:05.833-07:00wow - what a lot to go through.

I've not had experience of this, although many other things and yes, people are rude and thoughtless at times I guess.<br /><br />It's great that your son has you and your support and great he is sticking to his passion.<br /><br />I hope you find time to be creative and get over these hurdles.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by at mine and wishing me success. I hope you can join in if you are able :)<br /><br />Amelia.xAmeliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05011651431719495166noreply@blogger.com
