80s music fills the house.

Wham!, Annie Lenox, Def Leppard,

Whitney Houston, the list goes on.

Laughter floats through the halls.

Everyone is getting along.

I know things are okay.

Pour Some Sugar on Me starts to play.

While mixing up the chicken salad,

my feet start moving.

Levity and singing proceeds.

My family thinks I have lost my mind.

Not really.

They are just happy to see me smile.
