The End Poem is beautiful, I'm glad you included it at the end of the post. I cried at "and the universe said you have played the game well"
This was an interesting story and I'm very grateful to you for sharing.
Tangentially, the idea of allowing people to express love in return reminds me of what my harp instructor told me about performing for my family - never apologize for making a mistake or not playing well enough. When you do that, you discredit the emotions you brought your listener. Apologizing is about you- let your playing be a gift for them.

Thank you. I'm glad it moved you.
And that's excellent advice from your harp instructor.
