I bet she misses it too. I know I can't watch a Nutcracker without being sad that she isn't dancing it anymore. Plus, all I look at is the dancers' feet. (all ballerinas and their moms look at dancers' feet- do they have "good feet" with no sickling) and what brand of pointe shoes they are wearing. My daughter wanted a little girl so badly. She has two ruffian little boys. She lost a little girl in between them.
I'm sorry to hear of your daughter's loss DeeDee, my heart goes out to her.
