This song by Luther Vandross is one of my favourites ! But today, it became a reality with me, as I danced with my father !!! I had a MOMENT to day, and its so special that I had to share.......
It was around 10.30 am, and I was just about finishing up sending off some important mail before going to my store, as usual I listen to my kind of music....when I felt a soft touch on my shoulder, and Dads voice saying "Paul will you dance with me?" thats what he calls me. I said yes and we danced a slow dance for about 10 minutes....at the end of 2 song he kissed me on the forehead gave me a hug and said "thankyou baby, I dont know what I'd do without you!" I was all in tears.....those were the most precious 10 min; I had just spent !!!! I could see it meant a lot to him, perhaps its the movie we watched the night before 'Shall we dance' Jennifer Lopez n Richard Gere, that brought back all the memories of Mom and the dances they would attend at the Airforce officers mess...Well for me Ive not stopped thinking about how much this has meant to me, now when I hear Luther Vandross sing his song, I know how very fortunate I am to be able to dance with my father !!!! Friends, enjoy your father n mother or who ever God has placed in your life right now....Life is too short and one never knows!!! Im just so happy that I was able to dance with my Father !!!!!! I love you Dad !!! Nostalgically yours
