This violin represents a promise I made to a woman I loved very dearly, my grandma. She left me this violin when she died and I promised that I would learn to play it. As I sit here now, I realize that I have not upheld that promise...and having so many promises broken to me this year, I have again been thinking on this precious instrument. Music is a form of release for me, something I love and miss so much. I may never be a master at this violin, but I made a promise, and I don't intend to break my promise. My grandma was a wonderful woman who I adored...I do miss her. But I will see her again on That Day.
