~Pre-Dance~

Spellbinder will soon be marrying Serenity. Spellbinder and I have always had a good and unique mother-son relationship. As I write, I sit and ponder....deciding on a name for him when hubby and I learned he would be joining our family and making us parents...his birth...we were both fighters and survivors...Spellbinder waited three days of my being induced...before he chose to enter this challenging world.

Spellbinder and I joke that because he was born under much stress...he is a stress-y guy. He is a high achiever and always surrounded by stresses whether he creates them or they simply occur. 

He and I have always been able to know what is on the other's mind...there was a time when he was in college and he called to talk to hubby...I was doing dishes...I could hear hubby's responses...I began chiming in...he looked at me, smiled and said, "you two are saying the same thing". I laughed because I had no idea what Spellbinder was saying. We just connect.

Spellbinder and I enjoy classic movies together, simply sitting and gabbing, and sharing humorous stories...and more. Now it is time for this lady to cherish the memories. Of course we will create more...but there is a new lady that he has been creating memories with...and will continue to as she becomes his bride.

Spellbinder and Serenity will become together as one soon. We are trying to decide on a song for our mother-son dance. It is difficult to capture the appropriate words in a song that defines our relationship. We thought of starting out with something more sappy and serious and breaking into something jiggie and fun....it would be a mix of our relationship. I believe Spellbinder said our relationship is "quirky". It made me smile. 

I have no idea yet what song or songs we will choose for our dance together at his and Serenity's wedding. My mind creates it's own song...one that describes the way we are with each other. This is the pre-dance....a song will come.

Smiling as I write...remembering our times of joking together...sharing "inside stories"...calls he would make from college to talk with me...the little boy he was and always so talkative and smart...praying with him and for him...the time he told me that he asked Jesus into his heart...so many precious memories. This pre-dance feels like a cozy hug with our song and meaningful words playing in my head.
