The Dance

I will never forget being asked to dance one night by my dear friend...as he sat in his wheelchair.

The thought had never crossed my mind that you could dance on wheels.

The thought had never crossed his that he couldn't.

And that's how he embraced this life. With a bright smile, a warm heart, & a joy for living in the moment. His chair didn't confine him, it mobilized him.

The cancer returned, stealthy & swift. The maniacal serial killer that is stalking through my life, adding so many names to his kill list. Special names, belonging to special people.

And his tops the list right now.
