I want to dedicate this dance to all those who have gone home to Jesus far sooner than we wanted or expected them to.
This song has long been a favourite of mine. Just recently I realised it was making me think of quite a few people.
At the time of choreography, there were 5 people I was really dancing for.
Sarah Jane - a school friend, died 1989 at 19 years, motorbike accident.
Mum - we lost in 2008 to Alzheimers at just 64 years of age.
Barb – My son’s teacher, lost to cancer in 2011 at 54. Barb was more like extended family than a teacher.
Ford – brother of a friend, 2012, truck accident, 18years.
Ben, just a little baby, so sweet. Son of a friend of a friend, 2013.
Thank you all for touching my heart, even the two I never met. Despite the sadness, it makes me smile to think of you singing in Heaven.
