Last night I had the pleasure of attending Les Mis in SLC at Capitol theatre. Thank you, Krista for the ticket. It was a solo ticket, so I went by myself and sat in between two strangers. It was an amazing, emotional and spiritual experience. I had an extremely hard time staying composed through any of it.
One of my MANY favorite parts was during the first act when Fantine was dying. I guess it struck a chord with me, as a single Mom. Fantine worked so hard to give Cosette a good life, but always seemed to be falling short. You could feel her undying love and devotion for Cosette. Even on her death bed she makes sure Cosette will be taken care of.
This story of selflessness, love, devotion, revolution and true forgiveness is one of the greatest stories of all time. It was a life changing experience that made me reflect on my own life. Making me realize the true importances in this life and where my priorities need to be. The greatest gift you can give to another person is the gift of yourself.
"To love another person is to see the face of God." -Les Miserables
