The Dance...

Have you ever really listened to the words that Garth Brooks sings? Read these words...they are sad but oh so true...very beautifully said.
Hugs to everyone who is grieveing the loss of a loved one...Kat

To the memory of those we all have lost...here is The Dance...


Looking back on the memory of
The Dance we shared 'neath the stars above
For a moment all the world was right
How was I to know that you'd ever
say good-bye


And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end
The way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I'd of missed the dance

Holding you I held everything
For a moment wasn't I a king
If I'd known how the king would fall
Well then who's to say I might have changed it all

And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end
The way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I'd of missed the dance


Our lives are better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss...the dance.


To my John...thank-you for our dance through this life together...I Love and Miss you...Your Kat

Kat - thank you for posting those words. I too miss my John - we danced and I loved him so much. I truly long to dance with him again but that won't happen for awhile.

Beautiful words, and I would take that chance if I had to do all again. The dance was sweet and will always be a treasure. Thank God he gave me that dance.

I had that song played at my mom's memorial service. I'll never hear it the same way from that day on...

Our dance through our lives together was an awesome dance...fast and slow...a dance that lasted almost 17 years...guess he needed to take a break for awhile so that when we reunite, we can resume our dance once again for all of eternity...
Get your rest, my dear John, as when I come home to you...I will be wearing my dancing shoes...
Missing you so badly today and everyday...Kat

Beautiful song. Always makes me think of my daughter & something someone asked me once. If I could have known before that she was going to die would I have had her? Yes! I wouldn't have missed knowing my wonderful daughter for the world.

I lost my first son at 37 weeks gestation. I was just beaming with joy the whole pregnancy. One of my co-workers told me she wished I were pregnant all the time, that's how happy I was.
Feeling him grow and move inside me was the only relationship we had, and I wouldn't trade those 9 months for anything.
I also know that if I didn't have that experience I wouldn't have exactly the 2 children I'm meant to have, my daughter and my son.
So I thank you for sharing that song with me, it made my day.

The Dance is one of the prettiest songs I have ever heard and one of my favorite. It is being played at alot of people memorial services. Because I think most people cherishes the dances they have with these people whether they seem great or small. I believe in my heart that if I would have known that I was going to lose my mom when I did I would hve tried to change things. but that wouldnt have been in Gods plan.

    I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

    A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
