“Without you in my arms, I feel an emptiness in my soul. I find myself searching the crowds for your face – I know it’s an impossibility, but I cannot help myself.” =Nicholas Sparks<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

We loved our “special events,” such as The Art Deco Ball, held on the Queen Mary every year.\u00a0 We went for ten years, starting the first year it was held! We enjoyed getting gussied up and hearing the stories about the trans-Atlantic cruises of yesteryear.\u00a0 Sue could easily have been a docent on the Queen Mary as she knew every nook and cranny, including the engine room.<\/p>\n

Dressed up in our best bib and tucker, we were off for an enjoyable evening of dancing to the music of the 1930s and quick-stepping around the ballroom floor like we knew what we were doing.<\/p>\n

I miss holding Sue in my arms and aiming for the stars while attempting to keep up with the band.\u00a0 The roaring 1920s and fantastic music of the 1930s were amazing. I’d give anything to dance one more dance with the love of my life.\u00a0 I guess dreams will have to do for a while.<\/p>\n
