Not long after everyone at the reception finished dinner, the dancing began. There was, of course, the traditional first dance, mother-son, father-daughter dance, the dollar dances. Shortly after that, FIL mentioned to me that he had requested a special song and dedicated it to MIL. It was their song - a song which has been their song for over 35 years. It was incredibly sentimental, especially since they've been going through a rough time. What brough tears to my eyes, however, is that he wanted me and B and my BIL and SIL to dance to the song as well. EVERYONE cleared the dance floor except the 6 of us, sharing one song, sharing the experience, sharing the hope that we'll all still be dancing together after 35 years.
