This morning woke up to half a house w/o electricity OMG !!! I had to find an outlet thatworked for my coffee. Scarlett has to have her coffee first before anything. I found an outlet that worked and called right away on the electricity. It’s been all the stormy weather and rain that did it. Long story short, it’s fixed…Thank you so much I could get my Easter dinner done.
Scarlet’s story for today is my moment in time that will forever be etched in my heart. I always told my story to the kids that when my story was finished here on earth, I hope I would be met by Patrick Swayze and he would be dancing with me for the song, “Time of my Life.”
If you have followed my blog, then you know all about all of the professional dancer’s that are my boys. JoffreyBallet, Milwaukee Ballet, Richmond Ballet yadayadayada… My 3rd son, Matthew got married to Hannah (both professional dancer’s). At his wedding he told me we were dancing the mother/son dance to, “A Simple Man” by Leonard Skinner. So the night before the wedding I went on line and listened to the song so I would have some idea of how the dance would go.
Below I’m just going to post the link of how the dance went. It was a memorable moment, one that I will never forget!!!!! Enjoy
Now that was the time of my life and a son who truly knows his mom and loves her to the moon. He is just the best dancer and totally confident and led me through the entire dance. I loved the ending the best. Thank you Matthew, you gave your mom a gift that I will always remember!!!!
Happy Friday, Blogger’s…I was just looking at my iPhotos and I realized I never put a post up on the son’s wedding in December. No judgement as I did break my arm on December 22nd. I have to add I have gotten pretty good reports on the healing as I it’s still healing but soooo much better. I tell you one thing I’ve learned, I haveslowed down a lot and have become more mindful of what I’m doing. Really don’t want that to happen again.
Back to the Wedding we had in December with Matthew our 3rd son to his beautiful bride and our new daughter Hannah. By the by, she was an absolutely beautiful bride and we love you so much Mz. Hannah and love you are such a wonderful addition to #frainsthename <3… I know we will have many good times to come. We’ll be out in a few weeks, and rumor has it that Dad’s going to treat us to some really good food 😉 …
Below are some pictures of their magical day back in December. It was so great I waited until I got home to break the arm, actually it would’ve been better if I’d of not broken it at all. That’s in the rearview mirror. I even dared to wear Red b/c my mom (RIP) would’ve so loved it that I did that. She taught me well <3 …

Finally I’m going to post the video of Bill Medley/Jennifer Warren singing the song, “The Time of my Life”. I always said that when I died, I would know I was in heaven if Patrick Swayze was there and he danced that song with me. Matthew new the story well b/c he is a retired professional dancer and he new just how much I loved that dance and movie. When I asked he what song we were going to do the Mother/Son Dance too, he said some song I never heard of, “A Simple Man,” by Leonard Skynard. I never heard it, so that evening after the rehearsal dinner I went back to the hotel room and listened to it so I would have some frame of reference.
FF to the that evening and the Mother/Son Dance and here’s what happened. I was in shock when I heard that song come over. I even looked over my shoulder to make sure Patrick Swayze wasn’t there and I wasn’t in heaven. I know my dance looked nothing like that of the one in Dirty Dancing but he made me feel, well there are just no words to explain how I felt. But as a mom I was so proud of the man he has become and that I am loved. There is no better feeling in the world than I had that night. I have watched that video IDK how many times but it got me through my broken arm on days that were so difficult. He’s just an amazing person and he found an amazing partner who we just love and over the moon with…Love you, Mz. Hannah 😉 … Enjoy the video and make sure you watch it til the end b/c that’s the best part !!!!
I have to put up some pictures of our Dancing Richmond Family…They are just the best group of kid’s. They are always so kind and just make yourfeel so loved. Sorry this took so long to post but you know the hand is finally getting better. Enjoy all the pics and I know my dancing wasn’t even close to the movie but that somehow just didn’t matter. I felt so loved and I think he really made me look good. I love all of you and thank you so much for the best memory a mom could ever have !!!!

It was a beautiful wedding and you are a great couple. See you soon …
OMG we had the best day ever. Everyone knows wedding’s can be stressful leading up to the day. Traveling, finances, yadayadayda. I must say all went pretty smoothly with the getting there and the stuff. At the rehearsal dinner I asked my son (the professional dancer) what song we were dancing too. He told me, “A Simple Man,” by Leonard Skynard. That night I went home and watched it on Youtube b/c the song was not familiar. It was a good song and I knew I would cry, but that’s just what I do. I’m a cryer …
Fast forward to the reception Mother/Son Dance. I’m not a great dancer but I can hold my own and my son is an amazing dancer so I knew he would make me look great.
I’m just going to post the video and let it speak for itself, but I will tell you I will never forget this moment in time. I have never felt more loved. This was just so amazing !!!!!
This is one of my favorite movies and short story. I use to tell the kids when I die I know I will have gone to heaven if Patrick Swayze is standing there to greet me and we dance to that song. I had no idea this was the song we were going to dance to and there was no rehearsing before we did this . It was a total surprise and I he made me look great.
Thank you so much Matthew for the memory of a lifetime…More wonderful moments of this great day. I have to give a shout out to our new amazing and wonderful daughter. Thank you so much for joining our family and I know you are his person and I’m so grateful for you !!!! I love you Hannah.
It’s a great day…Our son is getting married to his perfect person, lovely Ms. Hannah…Stay tuned for more pics, kind of got the wait going on right now but grateful everything has gone perfect with the travel day and rehersal … Their venue is stunning. I’ll share pics of the venue and the song for our Mother/Son dance. I’m sure I’ll be crying a lot today …Blessings for a wonderful wedding day..
