Paul Chambers died, http://www.kcdance.com/Dancing/whdt_May05.asp and another part of my life is gone.

That's a closed door I guess. I've always entertained thoughts of moving home when the money or the motivation ran out, moving into my grandparent's basement, scrapbooking, volunteering and dancing for Paul again.

But that will never be.

I haven't cried. God, I cried a river when Cliff died (yes, his lover. die now and then read on you homophobes), but i was a little girl then, and i would dance on the same stage as David Parsons www.parsonsdance.org at the memorial performance and watch "Caught" from the wings. And it really was glorious.

But Paul is dead and who dances now?

Saying good-bye is getting harder, and I am becoming more stale...

The last time I saw Paul, I told him about your new job. He said, "Ann should put dance back in the church -- that's where it all started." So go find a dance studio and dance! Mom
