Life, dances and such

Today, I am going to see a friend who is very ill. actually I have spoken of her here before...Dancing Queen. She has been a good friend for about two years. We used to go to the dances together. We "learned" how to do the night fever line dance and would do it whenever any song from Saturday Night Fever was played at a dance. We made up dance routines to the ball room dance song that get a little play because one of the djs is a ballroom dance instructor and gosh dern it we go to dances to dance not sit so we would do routines like you would see in the old musicals to them. It was such fun. and SOOOOOOOOO VERY embarrassing. Earlier in the year she was diagnosed with Lung Cancer. She has been fighting valiantly but there is not much the doctors can do for her anymore. She never smoked and was never around alot of secondhand smoke she did live in an area for many years that is highly industrial...so..? Who Knows. All I know is she is young too young. I have missed having her at the dances, missed seeing her each week in church. So today I am taking the opportunity to go visit her. There are other things I should do on my day off maybe in some ways they would be a better use of my time but friends are precious and should be cherished so today I go visiting and put off for another day the business of life to live a little and appreciate life and love.
To be a bit of tease...news coming soon on some things in my life...
