My mom and dad were "caught" dancing alone in an empty ballroom a couple of years ago. This story made me think of them. So vivid and bittersweet. I love it when you sneak up and tug at our emotions.

This was such a beautiful read! It was bittersweet reading of their final moments together of him listening to her singing got me pulling on the heart strings πŸ₯Ή

I imagine my husband and I may be like this. I remember seeing him in the audience at my senior recital, can pick out in my memory which seat he was in in the recital hall.

Loved it. Reminds me of one of those dystopian movies where the world has gone to shit but people still come together to enjoy the last dregs of humanity...
