Good Gracious

Has it really been months since I have signed on and blogged?  It seems I was  pulled into the Joedance vortex and now just surfacing.  So much has happened...so many wonderful things have happened.

We worked hard at Joedance and wrote a check to Levine Children's Hospital for $20,000 for rare pediatric cancer research.  We have sent Tony and David off to their third year in college.  Mike has changed jobs and is now running the 7th Street Public Market in Uptown Charlotte.  And I continue to work on Joedance.

But, in the quiet of the morning, I look over to my beside table and see the picture of Joe with his brothers on the McCallie campus. I still have that  pain in my gut.  That pain begging me to stay under the covers.  Not to face the day.  Being quiet and private would be the easier way to go.

It is not the path I have chosen nor the path I can ignore.  So I push that pain away and get on with trying to make a difference.  One tiny step at a time.
