Last night I met someone who I never ever thought as a child, would ever meet as an adult.
As a child, I would look so forward to having him come on the telly after supper, so I could put on my dancing dress and dance with my grapa to the music while grama sat, did her crochet and watched us and the t.v.
The Tommy Hunter Show was a favourite and after supper, we would watch and dance.
The Lawrence Welk Show was another real favourite of mine. Grapa couldn't sit at all. I wouldn't let him. He taught me how to polka, and waltz.
It was pleasure and pain for me last night. And as I sit here now, the tears come down and are hard to stop.
The pleasure of dancing with my grapa and the pain of him no longer here.
I do know that Grapa was here with me last night. It was a magical night for me and not one I will soon forget.
