Soothing "Soul Music"

When Samuel, our youngest, was only a few months old, I would sometimes struggle to get him to fall asleep when Mommy was out for the evening. But I found a trick that worked. I found if I just hold him at the piano and play some church hymns with one hand (while holding him in the other), he would often be soothed to sleep.

We were fortunate enough to inherit Kathryn's grandma's piano when she died a few years ago, so I kind of feel like the piano is a way for Sammy's great grandmother to sing him a lullaby from beyond the grave.
