I hate to cry. Always have. But this time next year, I’m planning a nose-blowing, eye-wiping blubber fest when Hannah last performs with the Bush Middle School choir. For the final song of the school year – “The Lord Bless You and Keep You” – alumni join the graded choirs on stage. Like Rachel and Lois tonight.
I first experienced this beautiful blending in 2003 with sixth-grader Rachel. I’ve missed two performances. In 2005, Keith called me on his cell (discreetly hidden in his lap) so I could harmonize in a lonely Chicago hotel room. In 2006, we were in Russia.
My three favorite altos, on the end in the back – as Woodworths often are. The seven-part “Amen” speaks to my soul.
It’d be nice to think Julia might join the choir in a few years, but – as Keith so aptly commented during a road trip when all four girls were singing – “So, you think art for Julia in middle school?”
Until next May, choir – The Lord bless you and keep you, too. I’ll see you then. And you’ll see a big wad of Kleenex catching eight years of memories.

one of my favorite hymns, I too had to stand in the back with the basses and baritones while singing first tenor. rather disconcerting to be singing a part nobody around you is singing.
Becky, I can so relate to the tears you’ve cried. Those “lasts” always do it to me. The last elementary concerts, the last middle school choir preformances and award ceremonies, the last choir concerts, prom, graduation, they are all final chapters. Then God reminded me that He continues to give us more chapters and exciting things we get to see our kids be involved with. By the way, that song was beautiful. Your girls looked and sounded wonderful all standing next to each other. God bless you, Woodworth famiy!
Dear Becky,
How wonderful to hear that hymn in public school. I’m suprised no one protested; according to what you read in newspaper and hear on TV. It’s like people are trying to take away our Christian rights.
Have a great weekend. Pat
hooray for bush middle school singing a song with His name in it!
i think it’s really sweet that your alum want to join in each year.
Now the High School challenge is to learn to sing it without that plunkety plunkety thing in the background
Hoorah for public school music teachers! Hoorah for Woodworth kids!
