Enjoy The Dance - It's A Gift

---

This husband and I…

Went to Pizza Ranch for lunch…Mr. Chicken Fan…makes it a game…to see how many chicken legs he can find…in the big vat of goodness…waiting at the end of the buffet…not a lot of activity…middle of the week at noon…Christian music…alternating with Country…blaring over the speakers…unusual…but whatever…

Suddenly…a song came on…that stopped eating me…right in her tracks…she knew this song…every single word…hadn’t heard it in years…and there it was…The Dance…by Garth Brooks…frozen…that chicken wing hung on the fork in mid air…this old gal…suddenly…wanted to sob…not a crier…never a crier…but Garth in Pizza Ranch…bringing mama me…to her knees…

So many years…so many miles…taking those babies of mine here…and there…to this…and that…Garth along for the ride…little voices…singing their hearts out…that dance…the dance of life…no way to know how it’s going to go…or how it’s going to end…those ups and downs…worth the pain…so very worth the pain…

To have had that dance…with those beautiful daughters of mine…looking back…mama me…wouldn’t change a thing…no way…would she have ever…missed…that dance…

Like she misses it…just a little bit…now…

And those daughters of hers…agree…
