You all know that in my heap of dreams is the dream to share a dance with each of my sons on their wedding days (simple enough, right? I hope so…).

Well, I’ve chosen a song for Justin and me: “My Valentine” by Martina McBride.

You’d think after 8 years in the wedding business, hearing this song week after week as I watched the newlywed couples share their first dances, I’d be sick of it. But, the song has new meaning to me.

Check out the lyrics:

If there were no words
No way to speak
I would still hear you
If there were no tears
No way to feel inside
I’d still feel for you

And even if the sun refused to shine
Even if romance ran out of rhyme
You would still have my heart until the end of time
You’re all I need, my love, my Valentine

All of my life
I have been waiting for
All you give to me
You’ve opened my eyes
And showed me how to love unselfishly

I’ve dreamed of this a thousand times before
But in my dreams I couldn’t love you more
I will give you my heart
Until the end of time…
You’re all I need, my love, my Valentine

And even if the sun refused to shine
Even if romance ran out of rhyme
You would still have my heart until the end of time
‘Cause all I need is you, my Valentine
You’re all I need, my love, my Valentine

This dream, I realize, may not be seen to fruition. So, I seized the day, today.

I turned the I-tunes up on the computer and danced right there in our bedroom with my Justin cradled against my chest. I was in my blue jeans and a faded black V-neck fitted shirt. Justin, fresh out of the bath tub, was in his light blue stretch pants and beanie, and a shirt that said “I Need My Space.”

Who needs all the hoopla with the flowers, decorations, lighting, dance floor, tuxes, and expensive evening wear? I had everything I needed right then and there….I had my little man…warm, alive, looking in my eyes…and, us, happy.
