Book Cover & Preview Text
The kind of guy he was ...
We would dance in the kitchen. I don't know if anyone ever knew that or if the kids even remember us doing that when they were little, for as they got older, we kind of kept it to ourselves ... our own little private secret. I'd usually be making dinner and Tim would come in and somehow we'd find ourselves slow dancing in the space by the stove. The last time we danced ... was more intentional than the other times ... and we danced knowing it was probably our last time. I cried, silently, the whole time he held me.
