The Dance

First, I have to say to my sister.....no tears.......
My last part of the description of my last lo made me really think of this......just because as Skylar gets older this haunts me a little more again and I seem to find myself struggling with it a little. You see, this is one of the last pictures taken of my first husband, Thomas, while we were on vacation. We had just celebrated our 2nd Anniversary and Skylar was just 3 1/2 months old. A few, too short, months later Thomas was killed in an accident on his way to work by a tractor trailer. The devastation and trauma of this was unreal. I can honestly say I'm not sure I really ever grasped it. This was someone I had a crush on when I was in 9th grade (he was a senior) among many other girls. We never dated, not until just before I started college......then married after I graduated from college. We had a baby boy 2 years after that and as the song says, 'for a moment all the world was right, how could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye'.
The other day I actually got out the photo album of 'our time' together and thought about redoing it for Skylar. I came across this photo and just thought about this vacation and what we didn't know. This song (the journaling) was played at the funeral and afterwards was one I avoided listening to again for many years. If I did happen to hear it somewhere it always caught me off guard and would freeze and feel like everything around me just stood still. These days I do hear it now and again and it is Ok now...I'll just listen to it and remember things. When thinking of doing this for the album I decided that this Garth Brooks song, the Dance would indeed be the perfect journaling and have much meaning to it. I'm hoping it can be read once I post it as it is sooo much more to type. I kept this very simple with just a soft edge to the photo....it's just how I thought it should be kept.
