Mother’s Day Reflections – 2019

Calli McIntyre first appeared on All Things Moore County in the spring of 2017. Today she is looking forward to her high school graduation and attending The Conservatory of Performing Arts and the honors program at Point Park University in Pittsburgh, to obtain a BFA in musical theatre and a dance minor in jazz. Her mother Noelle is a financial advisor when she is not Calli’s mom. Their relationship is special and their conversation this Mother’s day is a poignant reminder of how quickly time goes by us.
