"She is our Angel."
This is what Sandy, a 2nd grade teacher and friend of mine and Méav's, reminds everyone every chance she gets.

For the past few years, Sandy has integrated Méav's music as part of her teaching strategies to help motivate and inspire her young students. The results have been overwhelmingly positive - almost miraculous! - as each student has shown improvements in both study skill and behavior. Méav's songs seem to speak to the children's receptive nature of anything and everything beautiful. Sandy personally witnesses this every single day as she plays Méav's music in her classroom.

Often when I call my teacher friend at work, I can hear the children in the background as they say, "Hi Marie!" in unison. One February day, a bright idea came to my mind: "Méav needs to hear the children!"

I excitedly presented this idea to Sandy. Starting the day before Valentine's Day and continuing for a few weeks thereafter, the children were allowed to call my internet phone device after their school work and lessons were done. The children were so excited that they could each "speak" their message for Méav. I was then able to put the messages together in an audio file for Méav to hear.

Last holiday season, our fanclub gave the children blue bracelets with this message: Follow your Dreams, Love Méav. It was a small gift from Méav and myself. The children cherished this symbol of our appreciation for their unconditional love. The simple message on these bracelets will remain with them for many years to come. Each child will always know that they have the power to follow their dreams, like Méav.

Words are powerful and I hope, Méav, you will be able to feel the love the children are expressing for you.
Here are the lovely messages for our dear Celtic Songbird from the children. (Their privacy is protected; their names were changed, and at this age children generally sound alike.)
