This is so lovely -- you are indeed fortunate, but you're also wise and open enough to seize a good thing when it presents itself. Your FIL sounds like a wonderful man.
"Small acts… aren’t so small." So true. Your father-in-law gave you a great gift. Thank you for sharing how this gift impacted you and your family. From a single CD to the BSO and an influence on generations, how cool is that? I love Mozart and Beethoven, especially his 5th (Toscanini conducting), which was the only classical music LP I had for quite some time.
Jill, this was such a beautiful reminder of how one thoughtful gesture can ripple across generations. Your story brought both warmth and a quiet kind of joy, thank you for sharing it. Classical music will forever sound a little more personal now.
Lovely tribute to someone who gave the best of gifts.

He is wonderful and I am lucky.
His gift graces us every year as we pick which BSO concerts we will attend.

Well you picked well :)
Having a father who was very instrumental in developing my love of music, I completely related to this.
