When there\u2019s so much sadness, heartache and confusion in the world sometimes all that\u2019s needed is a dance to bring you back to a place of happiness and love.<\/p>\n
Seeing the kids excitement as they danced to freestyle in the living room brought me to a place of calm and joy. I just stared as they giggled, moved and wiggled with these smiles that would light up any moment. They were having too much fun and with all that\u2019s surrounding us, I decided to get up and join them. Feeling the music and letting my body go while giggling with the two miracles dancing before me was just what I needed. It wasn\u2019t long until we pulled my sister Mary and mother to their feet so they too could enjoy the music and life that was taking place in our home.<\/p>\n
The laughter, dance moves and constant giggles continued for what felt like a lifetime. It\u2019s been way too long since this happened last and I couldn\u2019t understand why.<\/p>\n
In the middle of all the death, hatred and sadness, we lived, laughed and loved. We just enjoyed being here. I couldn\u2019t stop laughing watching my mom and sister keep up with Giovanni and Isannah. There was no holding back. We were dancing like we were at the biggest club party. It was a great feeling and it was being felt all around.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s times like these you remember what\u2019s important in life and how grateful we are to be surrounded by family.<\/p>\n
Remember there is always a dance in your heart.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
