CAVEAT: I would love to hear you sharing Joshua’s Waltz. Help me share this beautiful message by using this hashtag #joshuaswaltz in any posts/videos. Thanks. And happy practicing.

———————————-

A captivating piano solo written by Valarie Olson and Joshua Burgess. Joshua died of suicide at age 16, leaving his latest composition unfinished. His mother contacted Valarie, asking her if she knew of anyone who could finish Joshua’s song. Valarie was moved to accept to not only honor and serve Joshua's family, but her own nephew, Hayden, had also recently died of suicide.

“The writing of Joshua’s Waltz became a labor of love, healing and hope for me, Joshua’s family and for many who have heard the music and the story behind it. May this music bring you the joy that comes from knowing this truth: we will see our loved ones again. They are gone for a time, but never forgotten.”

xoxo -Valarie
