I hope you dance. Just for the pure joy of it.  I hope you dance because it makes God smile.  I hope you dance because you can.  I hope you dance whether there is a trophy or not.  I hope you dance because this is always how I will remember you. Me in the wings, you looking like a princess. Always.

This photo was taken last week during one of the many ballet recitals I attended last week for my girls.  My six year old left with her first trophy.  As we were leaving she said, “Oh Mommy, I just love my trophy so much.” She was dressed as a bunny.  My heart melted.  But then again, I’m usually a mommy mess at these things.
