In-laws are supposed to make life easier, right? Well, that wasn’t the case for me. This is the story of how I got my revenge on Linda, my mother-in-law, after she treated my eldest daughter, Tessa, like dirt. I have two daughters: Tessa, who’s 10 and from my first marriage, and Sadie, who’s 4, from my marriage to Grant, my current husband. Tessa is sweet, quiet, and always eager to please. Sadie, on the other hand, is a bundle of energy—always asking questions, never sitting still. Grant loves both girls as if they were his own, but Linda, his mother?…
The 5-year-old piano prodigy plays for his 101-year-old grandmother, her last request brings him to tears
Piano prodigy Ryan Wang recently performed an extraordinary private concert for 101-year-old Dorothy Landry, months after he captivated audiences on “The Ellen Show” and graced the stage at Carnegie Hall. This special performance was organized by CBC Music, a Canadian digital music distributor, and featured five-year-old Ryan playing “Variations on an Inner Mongolian Folk Song” exclusively for Landry.
Although Dorothy had been an avid fan of Ryan since he was three years old, her hearing impairment made it difficult for her to fully enjoy his public performances. To address this issue, CBC Music arranged a private concert that gave Dorothy an intimate musical experience.
In a cozy atmosphere, Dorothy sat in her wheelchair while young Ryan performed beside her, clutching a large teddy bear and jumping with excitement. Ryan expressed to “Grandma Dorothy” how much it meant to him to play just for her, and her face beamed with joy at the personal touch of the performance.
Dorothy was keen to show her gratitude by calling Ryan a “very special little human” and sharing her excitement for his future performances. She also invited Ryan to visit her again after his upcoming trip to China and expressed her heartfelt thanks. This heartfelt exchange highlights the profound connections that music can create across generations and borders.
