Dar and I loved to dance. It was probably the first thing we did together, long before wewould share our lives.

We grew up in a small Oregon mountain community where dances were held almost everySaturday night. Dar was seventeen, and l was thirteen, when we first danced. He was one ofthe best dancers on the floor, and so was I.We always jitterbugged. No slow dancing for us;nothing remotely romantic.

Our fathers would stand along the wall and watch. Every once in a while, Dar's dadwould smile a little and say, to no one in particular, but my dad could hear, "Boy, my kidcan sure dance." My dad never blinked an eye; he acted like he'd never heard. But a whilelater he would say, to no one in particular, "That girl of mine can sure dance."

Our dancing together stopped for five years while Dar was in the South Pacific in WorldWar II.When we met again, Dar was twenty-two, and l was eighteen. We began to date anddance again. We were as good together as we remembered, and this time we added slow dancing.

For us, life is a dance,a movement of rhythms, directions, stumbles, missteps, at timesslow and precise, or fast and wild and joyous. We did all the steps.

Two nights before Dar died, the family were with us. We all ate dinner together, and Darsat with us. He hadn't been able to eat for several days. After dinner,I put on a Nat KingCole tape. Dar took me in his arms, weak as he was, and we danced and smiled. No tears for us.We were doing what we had loved to do for more than fifty years. It was our last dance-foreverunforgettable.1 wouldn't have missed it for the world.
