We're leaving in 2.5 hours to go to the music recital of 4 high schoolers. I believe each will be performing 3-4 songs.
It's being held in a large church hall with distanced seating and masks. We are fully vaccinated. Our friends invited us to hear their daughter, L, today.
We have known L since she was born, our daughter was like a mommy's helper when the wee babe came from the hospital at 4.5 lbs. Parents are friends but they are at very different parenting stages (our kids are in their early thirties) and we don't see them nearly as often as we used to. However, we still consider them good friends.
L has been typical teenager for a few years now, very self-centered, often surly, doesn't speak to us on a meaningful level any more.
All that said, we, especially me, want to continue supporting her in her efforts. Adolescence has been a fairly big struggle and I want her to know that she has people besides her parents who care. (There are a handful of us, almost surrogate aunts and uncles and grandparents, who were invited today.)
L will be graduating high school in two weeks. I was going to give her a card and some $ at that time.
Is it traditional to bring flowers (I'm allergic and can't!) to a recital, or at least a card?
thank you in advance if you can help me figure this out.
