A Love That Inspires
by Bobbie Humphreys
Imagine a kind of love that inspires spontaneous slow dancing. A
daily
routine interrupted by a Nat King Cole love song.
“…the greatest thing you'll ever learn, is just to love and be loved in
return”
A devoted husband helping his disabled wife of twenty four years, with her
sleeve that seems to be caught with in it’s self – inside out some people
call it.
In the middle of the day in the center of their living room they begin
dancing cheek to cheek, the embrace is important, not the missed steps of
paralyzed legs.
He whispers in her ear “I love you sweetie” then twirls with her empty
sleeve. He giggles when he finally notices a neighbor compelled to look in
their first floor apartment window at a man apparently dancing with a sleeve.
The husband graciously takes a bow and together they laugh at the
thought that the passer by cannot see his beautiful wife sitting in a
wheelchair with her heart on her sleeve.
