I feel like a piano would make a great vehicle for telling a true or fictional multi-generational drama. These instruments almost become family members. I've seen a few fights over who gets to inherit a piano in my life.
Thanks for another great story. You always inspire me to write more and to write better.
Your other was both a gifted pianist and artist. I'm sure she would be proud of your writing skills.
My big sister has a piano though it mainly sits in her living room like a bulky piece of furniture. I remember one day I was striking the piano keys at random (I can't play, unfortunately) then I put on a record by Debussy. My sister and brother-in-law came rushing into the living room, thinking I had suddenly turned into a concert player.
We sold our spinet piano to a local family with three little girls who were dedicated to learning to play the piano. It was hard not to see it go to family, but it's now in a home where it's loved and used daily.
Your mom's drawing is precious. I love the border. My childhood piano is in my home. I took lessons, as did my son, neither of us with much natural ability.

What a warm feeling, reading this snippet, I can almost hear the notes.
