Time to dig out the music. My dad didn’t dance and my mom loved to dance. Inevitably, everybody danced with my mom but dad. At age 50+, he learned to dance. I asked what brought that on, he said, “I got tired of everybody dancing with your mom but me.” They slow danced always. He was an excellent dancer, never missed a chance to dance with my mom. She was very happy. I never learned to jitter bug. Wish I did. My sister did, she was the only light enough to stand on moms feet!
