LAST CHEATER'S WALTZ


So sad. Somehow today I got lost in Youtube in the old country western music. Those sad country songs James and I used to dance to. “It's 4 in the morning and once more the dawning woke up the wanting in me.” He used to love to waltz. Another one we loved to dance to “The last cheaters waltz . Tonight she'll be with him, no matter the cost, as they dance to the last cheaters waltz.

We danced many miles across those old wooden floors. But that is all over.

I try to remind myself that those times were wonderful, and I thank the Lord for them.

All the many hours spent water skiing on Lake Austin with the kids and after they were older all the time we spent sweaty and dirty at the motorcycle races. And now he is usually easy to get along with; I remind myself those are real and true blessings and I appreciate them.
