Tonight my mother asked me to dance. I don't believe she has asked me to dance with her my entire 52 years. Just out of the blue we were sitting at Josiah's wedding reception and she grabbed my hands and practically pulled me out on the dance floor. My children were so surprised and Emily used the camera to video our dance. For those watching they never would have guessed this 77 year old woman has had Alzheimer's disease for several years now. She still has a much better sense of rhythm than I and was swirling and twirling and having the best of times.
Throughout the evening she danced with her granddaughter Emily, her grandson Ryan, a couple of Emily's friends, and she was even asked to dance by a young man at the end of the evening that none of us knew. I believe she will sleep very well tonight.
I'm not surprised, that Lily is a kid at heart and enjoys life to the fullest! I guess we should have hit all the dance clubs on the cruise, we probably wouldn't have kept up with her!
ReplyDeleteWell we will just have to go on another cruise!
