For anyone under 40, that's ballroom dancing where boys and girls actually got up close rather than doing their own thing on the dance floor.<br />Hearing certain standards on the radio always takes me back to those days of two left feet until you "got it".<br />Lovely post, Jane.

I must tell you that in my own life my "Grampy" was the apple of my eye, the one I always ran to, on whose lap I sat. But I fear he probably had two left feet and I don't think he ever danced.<br />Bless you for this joyful memory and for the knowledge that we can pray for their souls.<br />Mary xxxx<br />Hoka2_99Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4702382876668711798.post-43874801569674747542012-11-16T17:23:52.712+01:002012-11-16T17:23:52.712+01:00Thanks for your comment Pelerin.

My paternal grandfather died of peritonitis the year before I was born. <br /><br />I'm so glad you are now a Grandmother. <br /><br />God bless always,<br />JaneJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00419516065899508757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4702382876668711798.post-33780147370838263912012-11-16T16:26:26.698+01:002012-11-16T16:26:26.698+01:00What a beautiful memory you have of your grandfath...What a beautiful memory you have of your grandfather Jane and how lucky you are to be able to relive it with this music.<br /><br />I never knew any of my grandparents - they all died either before or shortly after my birth - and as a grandparent myself now I realise what I missed in not having had such a relationship.<br /><br />(Apologies if this has registered twice - I pushed the wrong button first and am not sure if it printed or not!)pelerinnoreply@blogger.com
