Step In the Past

I sat in the kitchen, Mum stood at the sink, the radio nattered away, when all of a sudden she stopped washing the pots, a Fleetwood Mac song started to play. It was 'Albatross', “ We used to both dance to this, a Slow Foxtrot, your Dad and me, come on, grab my hand, have a go, learn the steps it is easy to do, as you'll see ”. We stood face to face, hand in hand and began, as she walked through the steps like a pro, I tried to pick up both the rhythm and steps without crushing all of her toes. We moved round the floor in a figure of eight, by the end of the song not too bad, and with a smile on her face, both eyes closed, for a second, she danced Slow Foxtrot with my late Dad.
