Follies

I took my mom to see the musical Follies for Mother's Day. Aside from the fact that I got us balcony seats (5 rows back) and she is extremely scared of heights, it was a wonderful experience. (I did ask her before I bought the tickets if the balcony was okay, and she said yes, but if we go to another show, I'll definitely get seats on the ground floor).

The musical centers on two older couples looking back on their lives and the choices they've made. Everyone is dealing with aging and a marriage that doesn't match the hopes they'd once had for their partner. It deals with these very real topics and also manages to entertain and make us laugh.

I'm grateful for my mother for countless reasons and one special thing I'm happy we're able to share together is going to plays and musicals.
