My mum taught my son a little tune on the piano one afternoon last week.

She invested time and effort into making sure he got the keys just right.

And pretty well, every day since then, I have heard him tap out the same tune โ€“ almost like a little ode to the time he had with her.

Her tune keeps playing well after sheโ€™s gone.

What tunes have been passed on to you?

And what tunes have you passed on to others?

My mum teaching my son a tune he’ll never forget.

I think we all leave a melodies behind us wherever we go โ€“ some sweetโ€ฆ some not so much.

I can think of a lot of different tunes left by friends over the years โ€“ words and moments which emerge as poignant memories.

Some relationships have been like a symphony, leaving their mark on me forever.

Everything we say and do has the potential to leave a mark โ€“ sometimes long after the relationship has ended.

How will you impact the people around you today?

What โ€˜songsโ€™ will get stuck in their heads for days after you meet?

How will you make a difference, and allow others to make a difference to you?

    I am learning that the relationship is more important than the doing.
