Most Memorable, Heartfelt Moment

My husband and I used to dance quite a bit in our younger days, but for some reason as we grew older we got out of the habit. Caught up in other things, we somehow forgot the small things in life.

The night that I was to undergo a 75% liver resection because of primary liver cancer, the nurses piped music into my hospital room and my husband and I danced what possibly could have been our last dance together--forever. After spending three out four months of my time in the hospital and time away from my husband, we refused to let another wasted second tick by of those small things that had meant so much to us. I died on the operating table and God gave me a second chance to cherish sharing other dances with my husband.

It's a moment in my life that will forever remind me of the smaller things in life.

What's your most memorable, heartfelt moment that changed your life forever and how you view life now?

That's so sweet. I have two left feet, but do you think Joe will dance with me the next time I visit?

Good luck! He doesn't even dance with me much anymore.
