Do you believe in Fairies?

Today, I went with the Southgate residents to see Peter Pan at the Hanover Theater.  And as a sidenote, I must mention that at 59 years old, Cathy Rigby is still an incredible Peter Pan!
  I got to Southgate early to make sure that Nana had some lunch, and we boarded the bus shortly after we ate.  As we entered the bus, there was a full chorus of "Hi Jane!" Ever the prom queen, she smiled and waved to everyone.
  As we entered the theater, Nana grabbed my hand and said, "This way I can make sure I don't get lost." Great idea! We took our seats, and Nana looked around.  She started telling people about the wonderful history of the Hanover Theatre, and pointed out the seats that she sat in last time she was here. (She had never been there before.. As for the history, that was also a figment of her imagination.)  As she sat in the theatre, she quietly listened to the conversations around her.  The people behind us were discussing the weather. " We just had rain last nite," he said, to which Nana piped up, "My name is Jane! Are you talking about me?" Oy. 
  Once the show started, we settled in and Nana seemed to really enjoy the show. She enjoyed all the singing, and she loved the dancing. "You would have been dancing up there if you had the chance, right?," she said to me.  She was right.  As for Nana, given the chance, she probably would have chosen to fly on the wires instead :).
   At intermission, she was ready to leave, but since we came on the bus, she decided to stay.  I took her to the bathroom, which was packed with children and grandparents.  She went in one stall, I went in the other.  I watched her shoes, just to make sure she didn't disappear on me. Sure enough, she popped up and went right out the door of the bathroom, forgetting to stop and wash her hands. I bolted out of the stall, scaring a poor kindergardner, and reached her in the hallway. "Oh, Hi! I was just looking for you!"  I gave her a squirt of Purell and we headed back to our seats.  During the second set, I knew that she was still watching because when Peter Pan asked if we believed in fairies, she clapped enthusiastically.  We watched the rest of the production, and Nana turned and said, "I'm glad we stayed. This was really good." 
    We returned to Southgate, and Nana planned to take a nap, once she visited with her friend Effie.  As I was leaving, she gave me a big hug and kiss.  "I am so lucky that I have you."  I feel the same way, Mom.
