It is hard to believe that it has been 5 years today that my Dad passed away. Some days it seems like it was just yesterday, other days it feels so much longer. Still it is 5 years and that seems unbelievable. I really miss him and I wish he could have met his grand kids. I know he would be so proud.
We were out doing some errands today and while we were in the store, this song came on. How timely I thought! This song always reminds me of my Dad. I love this song, but it is such a sad song especially knowing what happened to Steven Curtis Chapman's little Cinderella. None the less, I thought it was timely and thought I would share. One memory I will never forget is dancing with Dad in the foyer. We started out standing on his feet, and of course when we were much older and 'cooler' we didn't have to stand on his feet and put up a bit of resistance, but we danced. I am reminded of this song all of the time and the moments that my Dad took to dance with us, as my little princess loves to dance and always asks. Memories and moments that we can never forget nor ever replace.

It is hard to believe that it is already five years since your Dad passed. It must have been very difficult going through pregnancy, knowing your Dad was not well. Yet, it must be very satisfying to see some of your Dad's traits in your children. Your Dad was certainly very rhythmic, and a natural dancer. ( I think your Mom and Dad's wedding dance was the most fun dance I ever attended!!) It must please you to see GG enjoying dancing, like you did as a child.
This is the time of year I especially think of my Dad, your Grandfather. As soon as the spring runoff began, Dad would be down at the end of the lane with his shovel creating drainage channels. I, too, as a child, enjoyed playing in the mud!!
