Finishing a dance .... / myLot

Alicante, Spain

September 13, 2016 1:22pm CST

Hi folks ... I've been absent for a couple of days, in that time, i've flown to England, and spent a couple of days with my Dad. He is recovering well from his heart surgery..., of course, not as quickly as he'd like... but one of the things he loves to do is classic ballroom dancing..., before his operation, he was unable to finish even one dance... due to ill health... he would still go dancing, and would do several half dances, as he didn't want to give up... he has a great spirit... but is not a very patient, patient ..., lol... During one of our discussions over the weekend, about how he was doing, he mentioned that he'd been dancing, and had managed to do a whole dance, he was very pleased... as was I...as it is one of the things that he measures his progress by, but, has already said..., he wants to do more than one dance..., and he wants to walk further ... ect ..., ect. I told him of the improvements I've seen in him, since I last saw him 2 months ago..., but, they are not happening quick enough for him... He has been busy in the garden..., which is also important to him... here is a photo of some of his blooms.... I will do a slide show later in the week...

What a beautiful garden. He does a great job gardening. It is great that he is doing so well after his heart surgery. He is progressing nicely and in time he will be as good as new. It is great that he dances. It is what keeps him going. What a beautiful post. Thanks for sharing!

he went dancin' without me?? i'm absolutely thrilled to hear this (though a tad disappointed fer myself, lol) that he's bein' able to do such. sounds like it'll not be long 'fore he's out there cuttin' a rug more'n once. my heart soars fer him! mercy, he's got such a lovely garden! jest puts mine to shame. can't wait fer the slideshow! glad he's bein' able to get out'n enjoy his love 'f gardenin', too. always makes me feel better to be able to do such. i can empathize with him bein' impatient. i feel the same 't times :D big hugs 'n love all 'round!

yes I think they've had a good summer ... so he has been able to get into the garden.... and he gets satisfaction and a sense of achievement from doing it.
