I don't often cry in this 'business'.  My heart breaks for these kids - for their pasts, for their stories, for their losses.  But I don't often cry, because a few tears would, I fear, open the floodgates and the flow would never stop.  And then there would be no hope, for hope would drown in the tears.  And I have to have hope in order to let go

You cried

for hope ... nothing wrong with that.

It sounds just beautiful. Dancing frees up your spirit so I'm sure for those hours those kids were soaring!

Just reading it makes me want to cry.

That's so cool... I chaperoned one of my respite kids who had Down's Syndrome to a dance like that once, along with his girlfriend... It was really great to see them having so much fun and just being teenagers!
