A year ago, Riley hesitantly took her first steps into theater by participating in the winter workshop at DYPAC. I remember sitting in the parking lot that morning with her as she nervously debated whether she really wanted to give it a try or not. Ultimately, she decided to try it as long as I would sit in the theater and watch her. Yesterday morning, another workshop began there, and as we entered the theater, she hugged me, simply said "See you later" and headed to the stage. My how times... how she has changed!
