Father-Daughter Dance

Tonight was a very special night for my granddaughter, Addison. It is a big event in Lovington called the father daughter dance. Addisons first time to be able to go was last year. Her dad, TJ is in the military and would not be able to be here and her granddad was on a job so he was not here. So ashe asked Jason, her little brothers dad to talk her and he felt highly honored. He bought her the wrist flowers and went all out to make it a very special night for her and it was. They had pictures made and she won a door prize, an i-pod. And they were looking forward to doing it again this year. On may 11th, we were at a t-ball game for Dominic and Jason was there and he asked Addison, when are we going dancing again and she said, our father daughter dance is coming up and they made a date. We all left the game, Jason left on his, motorcycle, a crotch rock and little did we know that would be the last time we saw him. 15 min later he had a wreck and early the next morning was gone.

Addison came home Monday of this week and wanted to call her dad who lives in Virginia . It was time for the father-daughter dance. He couldn't make it by Friday night and her granddad is on a job,again in Pennsylvania. She was heart broken. Shanna and I tried our best to think of someone who could take her. I was talking to my brother who lives in Portales 83 miles away and told him about it. I knew he was on call for this week-end but I wish he was here. About 30 min later my phone rang and it was Gary and He said does my niece still need a date for Friday night?? I said let me hand her the phone, she started jumping up and down and screamed I get to go to the dance. She was so very Happy!!

Well, this is the big night and they just got home. They had a wonderful time!! Danced every dance. Gary is worn out but said that is the very best date he has ever had. Addison asked him if he would take her every year and when she is in high school she will be taller than him. They won a door prize and gave it to me, bath salt, cloth, and scrubber. Addison tasted the bath salt and said Yuck. What a night for both of them. Creating memories!!! A hugh thanks to my tired brother for making this such a special night.
