The Dance

I have been sitting here enjoying the tribute to George Strait reminiscing and thinking about the good ole times. Thinking about the Frio River, Garner dances, Country Breeze, Parker Barn Dances (do you see a trend with dances?) and all the things I have loved since I knew who George Strait was......and then Martina McBride sang.

Even though this is a tribute to George Strait, Martina McBride sang The Dance by Garth Brooks and for whatever reason it reminded me of Jennifer. I get that it's about being being able to love and lose, and feeling the pain of loss, than to never have loved, but in so many ways that is how, in this moment, I feel about Jenni. I am very lucky that I was able to dance with her for 24 years 'and now I'm glad I didn't know the way it all would end, they way it all would go....I could have missed the pain, but I'd have had to miss the dance.' Fittingly, this song has now been added to the playlist.

I probably would have really been done in if someone would have started singing Steve Wariner!! Jenni and I used to dance to Some Fools Never Learn and The Weeken over and over again in our cabin at the Frio.....along with Mistye and Bubba. What a sight we were!! There's even pictures somewhere to prove that we all danced together. All I can say is that Bubba better be glad that we were all girls or he'd of never learned to dance. :) Aaaahhhhh, the good, simple times of life when all I had to worry about was who I was going to dance with next. Also added to the playlist is one of my favorite Stever Wariner songs, The Weekend.....as soon as I find the other I will be adding it as well.
