LOL! Ok...hopefully this will tell of one of three experiences I had today I want to record. This is cute, funny, and typical of me!
We strolled into the flea market just trying to blend in.
Reagan was running and I was chasing - our typical Saturday thing.
I heard the beat as I walked in and my ears remembered the tune
and flashes of memories began to race across -- of dances under the moon.
I ignored it and we walked looking at everyone's goods and wares.
Lots of cheap stuff and every now and then a treasure here and there.
But my mind's eye kept going back to the little store when we walked in.
I knew I had to return -- he smiled as I walked in.
"It's been a while" he said as I walked into his little store.
I was shocked that he remembered I'd been in there before.
"I'll always remember you" he grinned and told he'll never forget
I'm the gringa with a tear in my eye and a pep in my step.
I last walked in there almost three years ago
looking for that song that made her laugh and dance around the floor.
Tears welled up as he said they didn't carry that song anymore.
I told him about Mom and he paused and took a breath.
"Look what I have" he said to me.
He walked behind the counter, pushed a button, and then it hit me...
he not only had the song; he had the whole CD
and kept it knowing one day I'd be back --- he waited for me!!
Reagan was dancing and entertaining the men
so he took my hand and gave me a spin.
"Never forget life is full of angels and you have certainly been one of mine"
He told me he'd lost his wife days before my last request he'd denied.
We spun around the floor --
well, he spun and I stumbled
as I grinned and the men clapped for their friend and his happy little Gringa.
I know...weird. Two weeks in a row of running into someone and dancing...but maybe it's Mom? I don't know. But the gentleman made my day, and I walked out with the CD, and a little shirt for Reagan. Now, what will Joe say when he walks in to see her shirt that says "It's better in Puerto Rico"? LOL
