she'll show the flights of angels a thing or two about how it's done, i imagine.

Beverly Sills 1929-2007.

Sigh.

Also, how cruel is the twist of fate that gave a woman with that kind of voice a deaf child? ... I suppose, looked at another way, that could force the kind of relationship where the kid doesn't care that you're Beverly Sills, because she can't have any first-hand evidence of why that matters, so to her you really are just Mom. (This is a tremendously inarticulate way to say what's in my head, but I can't make the words come out right.)

Wonderful woman. Ever seen the Muppet Show episode with her as guest-star? I'll never forget those terrible opera jokes.... *sigh*
