Shall We Dance?

Well it is the first full week that I am home in over a month and I am going to enjoy it to the fullest.

After supper while we were cleaning up the dishes, Nicole put in a WOW CD which we had not listened to in a long time. We were all drawn back to a "pre-cancer" moment. The girls recalled blasting the tunes in the van on our travels and remembered that they each had their own favourite number on the disk. Once the sink was emptied and the dishes put away it was time to dance. This used to be a nightly ritual.

If the neighbourhood could only see us "cutting the rug." Well, the truth be told, we never draw the front window blinds so they could see us if they looked. This Tamming clan may not have much rhythm but there was a joy that bounced in our steps that is unmatchable. It has been too long of a time in which we moved, danced, and sang as we enjoyed the music. There was a laughter that filled the corners of the room that has been gone for way too long. It brought smiles that beamed from ear to ear that have been missed dearly. I was overwhelmed by how much I missed this nightly performance. It was wonderful to move and grove with girls and Stephen. What a great way to begin this first full week! It is just great to dance!

Dance like no one is looking! I love that you shared this treasured moment with us. You brought tears to my eyes! Hugs...thinking of you all and praying for you still (every night.) Plus, I still talk to my 'Cindy plant.' It's in my front window and it always smiles back at me! Need I say more? Lots of love and laughter to the Tamming cast and crew. Happy Dancing. xx
