In the 2000's I was in a oldies band and they came regularly to our dances. They are truly special.Judie Johnsonhttp://www.luciepollardbranham.com/2012/08/we-should-all-hope-when-we-are-there-we.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7446087497085235181.post-43040080880778967622014-03-04T00:39:25.531-05:002014-03-04T00:39:25.531-05:00Amen: Rhona and Wallace are inspiring.Amen: Rhona and Wallace are inspiring.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7446087497085235181.post-71324659807326069892012-09-04T20:20:08.258-04:002012-09-04T20:20:08.258-04:00Amen!!

When I find my true love, I will share your post with him and make sure he understands this is where I expect us to be in 25 years.

I hope I don't miss opportunities like that because I am too stressed, or too busy, or just too "into myself." I got to witness true love - sharing the last years of my Mom and Dad's life with them. They always held hands, and every night, before going to sleep, Mom would say to Dad, "move closer" and "don't you ever leave me." And Dad would always reply, "is this close enough?" the, " I will never leave you. You are my sweetheart, now and forever." The entire 11 months after my Dad's passing, my Mom, along with her short term memory loss would say, "your Dad is not gone, he said he would never leave me." And she always believed in her mind that he was on his way home. Little did she know, he was Home...

Many of us would cast an eye over the elderly couple, think 'how lovely,' and move on. You look, then look more deeply, and follow your instincts to find a heartwarming and inspiring personal history. We don't see this kind of caring often enough beyond the first blush of a relationship. I think beyond the sweetness of the moment is a couple willing to forgive daily irritations and differences to maintain their affectionate bond. So lovely. And just not easy to do... --daaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7446087497085235181.post-79523896164999068182012-08-25T10:27:41.150-04:002012-08-25T10:27:41.150-04:00Oh, honey, once again you've brought tears to ...Oh, honey, once again you've brought tears to my eyes. I've known a few couples like this since I started dancing about 17 years ago: Mr. and Mrs. Winegarden, who were as elegant as their name. She was tall and slender, still with the build of the model she was in her youth. She loved to dance (Mr. Winegarden didn't but he loved her so he did it as rarely as he could). She danced the most beautiful Viennese waltz I have ever seen in my life. They had been dancing with us one Friday night and the following morning she went to work in her garden and died suddenly. <br /><br />And then there were Mr. and Mrs. Mason. They danced at the Ritz Carlton in Buckhead every Saturday night. They had never had a lesson, just let the music move them in sync and rhythm that had been polished over their 60 years together. We only had dinner with them a few times, so didn't know them as well as we would have liked. But one night they stopped coming to the Ritz, so we guessed what was wrong. We saw Mrs. Mason for the first time in about 5 years last month while we were dancing at a local club. She was out with her children and grandchildren and more beautiful than ever. She won't dance again in this life, but she's still got the love and the memories to hold on to.<br /><br />Life really does dance on, so join the dance while you can.Sue Ellennoreply@blogger.com
